In this paper, we give results on our recent study on Chinese person names. The analysis is based on a corpus of 1 million names. The results include the syllable lengths and surname composition of the names in the corpus, full name and given name statistic results and analysis, tonal pattern analysis of Chinese full and given names, and name confusion analysis when given number of names are extracted from the corpus. Since pronunciation is involved in the tonal pattern of the names and confusion analysis, we give our strategy of dealing with the multi-pronunciation characters in Chinese person names. A model is brought forward to estimate the upper-limit to the recognition accuracy when N words are randomly extracted from the corpus, and has been used in our name analysis.
