Question 634714: There are 17 common first names, 130 common middle names, and 193 common last names. How many unique character names can be generated?
I thought I should multiply the three numbers; however, I am confused because of the word unique.
Character names are first name, middle name, and then last name.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.
