Not to mention all those names of cancelled accounts.
I still have two 'forgotten' accounts on which I used a couple of names that are not available after some years. Seems that CCP keeps all those reserved.
So anyone having made a trial account and discontinued it, must have reserved a name as well. That will easily run into much higher numbers than the current number of accounts.
Might be an idea for them to clean up one of these days. Like a 'if you don't reactivate with our new offer within X months we will clean up your chars and items' type of thing. Would be good for their database also methinks.

There are a good proportion of us who take names based on outside sources. As an example this was the only name I could find from the old Starfleet series that wasn't taken.

Of all things, my original account name choice was taken. So I ended up with another that I seldom use (no, it's not this character). I tried looking for a character of the same name (since I couldn't use that either) and the search came up blank.
Lo and Behold, just a few years later, it's free and it's now my second account name/its corresponding character.
Also note in the number of names, those alts that people make then remove. Are those names still unavailable? Or can people use them? And my main has 2 characters (my current, this guy, and my old one) while my alt has only the one. While there may be 300K+ subs (times 15 of whatever your local currency is...that's not the 11m times 15 WoW has but...it's still a lot of money they get each month), I'll go with the other guy's number and say there's only 201K characters.
