HelpRe: What is your stereotypical names?
in reply to a message by ✧･ﾟ: *Magpie*:･ﾟ✧
Hm, my list setup is good for this - I have one big list, plus lists per gender that have all the same names on them as the big list.
Mine -
female : 62% English, 18% M_, 48% _a, 22% five letters, 26% six letters.
Maria, Mariah, Marcia, Marina, Medora, Merla are all on the list. Maria and Marina are some of my favorite names for sure.
male : 73% English, 14% M_, 28% _n, 19% four / 22 five / 24 six / 20% seven letters.
Myron is the only M name on the list that ends in N.
It's 12% D_ initial, and I like Damon even more so I'm going to say Damon.
Marina and Damon
Top initial letters (fem) - M C A D E/J
Top initial letters (masc) - M D R C K
Question for others - are there any characteristics on your aggregate ratings that are above 65% ?
Mine were: Natural, Wholesome, Refined, Strange (overall and for fem)
Classic, Wholesome, Strong, Strange, Nerdy (for masc)

A lot of my aggregate ratings are over 65%...less are consistently over 70%. The ones most often over 70% are Classic and Strange, then Wholesome and Refined.

I've been updating my lists and now my boys list has two lists and girls have three (because I have too many to fit into one list). I have too many to now consider easily, but I have taken my time to shuffle my favourites into two lists of their own. Therefore these lists will be different from the ones I began this with.
So, according to my narrowed down lists;
Female: Natural, Wholesome, Refined, Strange (Classic, Formal, Upper Class, Serious and Nerdy only just not making it to 65%)
Male: Classic, Wholesome, Strong, Strange, Nerdy (Formal, Upper Class, Refined and Serious only just not making it to 65%)
The rough balances I have are Simple & Complex, Mature & Youthful for both male & female, Urban & Natural for boys and Strong & Delicate for girls
Female sample size is 465 and Male sample size is 381
Unisex sample size is only 80 and not shortened to just my favourites, but here it is anyway;
Wholesome, Strong, Strange (Natural and Refined only just not making it to 65%). The balances are Classic & Modern on exactly 50/50, Formal & Informal, Upper Class & Common, Serious & Comedic and Nerdy & Unintellectual)
-
Also this is where I report that my initial stereotypical names I posted remain the exact same. I thought it'd be different after sifting out all other stuff, but nah
Going by the United States data (I'd use England and Wales if it went far back enough - alas), my preferences for Unisex names peak in the 1990s - 2010s, my preferences for girls peak in the 1980s and boys in the 1880s!
-
Also I will eventually have smaller sample sizes because I'm whittling those favourites down much further to the "I will use IRL" lists, but that'll take more time lol
