True, but to determine how rare name changes are, the proper comparison is 
not to the number of registrations that months, but to the total number of 
names registered, that being the pool of people with a registered name to 
change.

(To be more precise, the comparison should be to *active* people with 
registered names.  People who have left Ansteorra have no effect on the 
issue)
