A: Sampling 283 names from a large client reveals:
- 3 characters is the shortest first name.
- 6-7 characters is average.
- 11 characters was maximum (Mondravious)
We all realize that Bo is just 2 characters and that names can be longer than 11.
Why is this important? Some clients prefer a fixed font size. Other clients allow the font size to be adjusted so that the name fills the space.
For clients who want one font size when designing name tags after the font is selected we adjust the font size so that "Clementine" (10 characters) fits. Then all other names use that same size font.
