Novel names

I have been interested in trends in naming children for years, so was interested when I found this article whilst trawling The Guardian website for something else. My real name has three syllables (and three vowels) and I have been pronouncing it under my breath for the last 20 minutes and I still can't decide if you stress the vowels with the front or back of the mouth, so I have no idea where I would fit into the experiment. Needless to say it is certainly interesting if you are thinking of writing a novel - make sure you romantic male lead is called Matt or Nick, not Paul or Charles.
