The Most Popular Speedcuber Name (In The WCA Database)

[PhillipEspinoza]

So I was thinking to myself, there sure are a lot of people named Michal in Poland. Hmm.. Piotr is pretty popular too. About as popular as the name Chris over here in the US. Chris Dzoan, Chris Hardwick, Chris Tran, Chris Bird, Chris Krueger so on and so forth. I wondered, is that the most popular name for speedcubers in general? Luckily someone (Kevin Wu) was able to answer my question. You wanna see the breakdown of the names in the database? Take a look at this site:

In case you were thinking it, there's only 1 speedcuber named Yckz.

And the most popular name is...

if we translate the names of their counterparts may be a difference:
Michael (81) + Michal (23) + Miguel (12) + Mikael (4) + Michel (4) + Mikhail (4) + Michiel (1) + Mihail (1) = 130

Did you count only names or search results? If I search my first name then I find like 5 persons with this letter combination in their names but they are hidden in there last names.

 

[supercuber86]

I just searched the wca and there are 19 Max's but if u count maximillion or maxwelle its 27

i suspect the "Kim"s are not female first names.
