Anyone notice that the names of the player NPCs in SoA are remarkably similar in length? The vast majority of them are either 5 or 7 letters in length.
5 letter names:
Mazzy
Imoen
Nalia
Cernd
Minsc
Edwin
Aerie
7 letter names:
Keldorn
Valygar
Sarevok
Viconia
Jaheira
Yoshimo
Other names:
Jan
Korgan
Anomen
Haer Dalis
That's 13 names that are 5 or 7 letters in length, compared to only 4 names of any other length.
You know what is even more interesting is that the number of letters in the names of people posting in this column shows no discernable pattern. Wow.
5 letter names

6 letter names

8 letter names
Grojlach

(I actually was going to predict that most names have 5 or 7 letters, and was going to use the not-so-random sample of this topic as a test, but apparently the sample is too small because I would never admit to my hypothesis being incorrect.)
"But I also made it clear to [Vladimir Putin] that it's important to think beyond the old days of when we had the concept that if we blew each other up, the world would be safe." -President George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 1, 2001
