Is there any data available on the relative frequency of first name initials in SL?

For devices like lucky chairs, it would be useful to be able to weigh the probabilities to match actual frequencies, rather than selecting , for example, z as frequently as a or p. It would also be better to have actual data for this, rather than allowing owners to weigh as they see fit (don't want to give out many prizes? OK, weight it so q,z and y come up 90% of the time. Want to only give prizes to your friends? Weight it so only their letters come up..)

This data is not available. I don't actually know what a 'lucky chair' is, but using something besides initials or sampling from the nearby residents is likely to be far easier and more accurate.
