naming engine 2.0

naming engine 2.0.

The note being it could be used to write out every name ever possible.  what are the stats on that?  maybe 3 raised to the 26 power which is 2,541,65,28,29 combinations or is it 26 raised to the 3rd power for 17576 combinations?  It is 17576 combinations according to msn search.  So to raise it to 4 letter words is  456,976 combinations.  At 5 letters it is 26th to the 5th or 11,881,376 combinations.  At 6 letters it is 26th to the 6th power or 308,915,776 combinations.  And some 7 letter names for 8,031,810,176 combinations.  At 8 letters the count clocks in at 208,827,064,576 combinations. This likely covers 80%-90% of all names in the world in the English alphabet.  So it’s not unlimited but bounded.  A definite wall of naming but with special characters and a couple of creative methods such as adding last names and middle names the possibilities quickly climb into the stratosphere.
