You would expect that the percent of each profession by name should be the same. So if there are 25 professions, then within any given name you should have 4% going to each professions. So 4% of Arnolds should be a profession, and 4% of Shawns should also have the same profession. That is not what the data shows though. Within any given name there is a tendency towards the professions the chart shows.
This definitely does not account for location, birthdays, etc. But it is still interesting.
