And the longer ones bounding the correlated epoch went on to become president [hopeful correlation].

What it really shows is that people are more likely to use shortened versions of their names now. Richard becomes Dick, Albert becomes Al, Timothy becomes Tim, etc.

The real political consensus is that almost all VPs since 1980 have shortened their real first names to names that are 4 letters or shorter.

Short or long name has no bearing on quality.
