Names that are currently normal by your culture's standards	35%
Names that were once normal but are rare or no longer used	71%
Names that are imported (they may be normal in another culture, current or past)	59%
Names that are completely made up	21%
Names that are currently normal but have been modified with creative spellings	18%
Names that were normal but have been modified by creative spellings	18%
Names that are imported and have been modified by creative spellings	21%
Names that are basically two or more different names that have been combined to create one new name	32%
I prefer it when a story uses two or more of these kinds of names	71%
