I am personally surprised by the number of proper names on there. Jennifer, Jordan, Michelle, Micheal. I know these are pretty common names (Jordan?) but when you figure the percentage of the population that would have these names, then the percentage of those that would use their name as a password (assuming they are using their name, and not for some other reason) then it's surprising that so many would make a top 50 list.

The names are probably picked for other reasons. Each of those names is the name of a popular figure in society (actor, entertainer, sports star).
