Statement of record

Gizmo is on 1,818 dog licences in New York City, ranking 44th among the 34,672 names there. In Seattle it is on 25 dog and 11 cat licences. The Social Security Administration has never printed it, which means fewer than five human babies received it in any year since 1880.

Basis: phonetics. Two voiced obstruents, one sibilant, ends in a vowel. The canon has no entry, so this is the sound of the name and nothing else.

Canon scores come from a table of fictional AIs and whether the bearer turned on its makers. Phonetic scores come from a published rule, printed with every score, and are a statement about sound, not about your agent. How the sound is scored.

Counts are licence records, not individual animals; a renewed licence is counted again.
