Can anyone provide some data for me?

[A B]

I'm going to try another little study. (This time I do have the necessary
software to analyse it at least to some extent.) It's based on one carried
out by Alphee Lavoie, of the "Astro Investigators" group of Connecticut. He
took 285 timed charts of women called Barbara, and ran them through a
statistical program. Much to many people's surprise, he found quite a
strong emphasis on Jupiter in all its forms - Sun, Moon or Ascendant in
Sagittarius, or conjunct Jupiter, or the Sun or Moon in the ninth - that
kind of thing. "Barbara" is actually derived from a Greek word meaning
"foreigner". (See http://www.astroinvestigators.com/research1.htm .)

I don't expect to be able to get 285 charts, or to be able to analyse them
quite as thoroughly as he did, but I'd like to try to replicate this
experiment with a different name. Can anyone supply some data? Obviously,
timed data would be preferable, but un-timed data would be welcome too. I
don't want to get tangled up in all the John/Hannah/Evan/Joan variations at
this stage (they're all from the same root and no-one's quite sure what it
means). Otherwise, pick whatever name you like.

If investigating a name, or several, the following from Marc Edmund
Jones book 'Horary Astrology'* might be helpful:

PLANETARY DESCRIPTION OF THE NAMES OF MEN AND WOMEN

Mars
Generally a clear-cut name of the Latin or Romance type, short

Venus
Generally a musical or ornate name of the Greek type, longer

Mercury
Generally a conventional name common in the family or nation

Sun
Generally a name taken from nature and suggestive of vitality

Moon
Generally a name of special significance, of magic implication

Jupiter
Generally a definitely regal name, of universal suggestiveness

Saturn
Generally a name of great dignity, Anglo-Saxon or heroic

He also mentions the modern planets, but I do not want to exceed "fair
use" in quoting so I leave these out. Hopefully the classical ones
will be enough.

It is to be noted that he makes a general reservation about these
rules having their roots in a more homogenic society than the
contemporary, where religion and ethnicity was not quite the mix as it
is nowadays. "There may never be another situation comparable to the
time and land of William Lilly."*

Thank you very much, Kjell. That's going to come in very useful, when I've
got the data. I didn't even know such rules existed!
