01 · The leaders
One race.
Two honest views.
Exact mode keeps every spelling separate. Grouped mode combines only the common Cody variants, so the family signal is visible without fuzzy-matching the rest of the field.
02 · The spelling family

04 · The field
A favorite,
not a landslide.
The leading signal is strong, but the community remains inventive: more than four out of five suggestions sit outside the top ten exact names.
Every dot ≈ 1%
Top 10 vs. the field
18 highlighted dots represent the top ten share. 82 muted dots represent the remaining suggestions.
There is a clear direction—and still plenty of room for a delightful wildcard.

Filtered first.
Counted second.
What was filtered?
English profanity and slur screening ran before extraction or aggregation. It included Unicode normalization, common leetspeak normalization, separated-character detection, and conservative compound checks.
How were names counted?
Exact counts are case-insensitive after light whitespace, punctuation, and explanation trimming. Grouped counts combine only common Cody spellings; every other candidate remains exact.
What stayed private?
Email, name, GitHub username, and X handle fields are absent from this site and its cleaned exports. Excluded text is never rendered.
Automated language filtering is heuristic and English-focused. Finalists should receive a brief manual review before publication.
