Blink.

Now that you mention this... I've always liked "C" names, myself. C, of course, can be pronounced either as a "K" or as an "S".

I'd known about the name bias for a while, and even used it as an example several times, and still didn't realize my own bias until you said that.

Though then again... I also like "E" names, so it might just be coincidence. You'd expect there to be plenty of false positives in a group this large.
