Abstract
The size frequency distribution of Japanese given names is analyzed. A power law behavior is observed in a small size range with an exponent smaller than 2, which is close to that of Japanese family names. A similar tendency is observed in the cases of names in other countries. A Galton–Watson-type model with a generalized Yule process combined with an Exclusion Principle in Family (EPiF) is suggested.
