Default Name concerns are Fake News

Hey guys. I was kind of tired to see all the people complaining about names for Green, so I went and did some math. I just thought, "hey i think these guys have no idea how crazy 15^26 is of a number..." so let's start.

Here is the actual number of available names for one server (C^21+V^5):

4 letters (incl. at least 1 vowel) 10,460,353,204
5 letters (incl. at least 1 vowel) 4,398,046,511,105
6 letters (incl. at least 2 vowel) 4,398,046,511,136
7 letters (incl. at least 2 vowel) 476,837,158,203,157
8 letters (incl. at least 2 vowel) 21,936,950,640,377,900
9 letters (incl. at least 2 vowel) 558,545,864,083,284,000
10 letters (incl. at least 3 vowel) 558,545,864,083,284,000
11 letters (incl. at least 3 vowel) 9,223,372,036,854,780,000
12 letters (incl. at least 3 vowel) 109,418,989,131,512,000,000
13 letters (incl. at least 3 vowel) 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
14 letters (incl. at least 4 vowel) 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
15 letters (incl. at least 4 vowel) 7,400,249,944,258,160,000,000

Total is 9,520,031,819,749,050,000,000

Now let's say that only one out of 100,000 of these available names are pronouncable and useable. That is 0.001%. That should remove Mr. Vvuw and Wrftakliofcdertu from the list. Kind of but bear with me.

4-letters: 10,460,353
5-letters: 4,398,046,511
6-letters: 4,398,046,511
7-letters: 476,837,158,203
8-letters: 21,936,950,640,378
9-letters: 558,545,864,083,284
10-letters: 558,545,864,083,284
11-letters: 9,223,372,036,854,780
12-letters: 109,418,989,131,512,000
13-letters: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
14-letters: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
15-letters: 7,400,249,944,258,160,000

The total of that is 9,520,031,819,749,040,000

Now Blue99 had reached 1,000,000 toons at some point in the past, and this is the number that had people freak out that we might be in some name shortage crisis. OH MY GOD ONE MILLION OF THE BEST NAMES ARE TAKEN.

So hey let's say that each server produce... 1,000,000,000 characters. One billion. Sure why not?

So it will take 9,520,031,820 iterations of green to use up all pronouncable names.

One Green server is about 5 years? So this will take 47,600,159,099 years to reach.

But we are elitists and we only want the best of the best right?
Sure, let's cut that to another 0.001%, 1 out of 100,000 of these names.

It will take 47,600,159 years.
47 million years.

To reach 1/100,000th of the name bank of the best 1/100,000th of names, it will take us about 5,000 times the length of all mankind's history.

I just made an account yesterday with 8 toons all named 4-letter long names starting with Vo__. Just to test it out. There are 676 versions of 4-letter names starting with Vo. I could probably name all my toons Vo__ forever and never have to worry again for all my lifetime.

You will all be fine, stop asking the devs to work for you for free just cause you wanted to name your toon Legolas and it's already taken.

Please. Stop. Freaking. Out.
We still have about a million year before we can start even thinking about panicking.

Thank you ♡

I took Wobblysausage and Wobblypickle too, so don't get any ideas.

I suspect this number is way way off.
