Conclusions:

There is a heavy weight towards vowels when naming known She/Her characters, most clearly with how almost none use consonants and almost half end with A. This is similar to the gender coding we see in most cases; “feminine names” tend to end in soft sounds, with a particular bias towards A.

For Non She/her Characters, there is a much larger diversity of endings, with no letter having as high a plurality as A for She/Her characters.

One would assume if read with the probable sounds these names end in (Lanque being more like “Lank” and “Meenah” like “Meena”, for instance), we would see this difference exaggerated.
