RLV and RLVa both have 28 substitute names available. Since a non-island region can hold up to 40 avatars that means there would be at least 12 reused names in a full region, more if the hashing algorithm maps three or more onto the same hash / doesn’t pick out all the available names.
The number of available names has been increased to just over 40 and the selection algorithm improved so that incidences of to 44 along with a new algorithm to choose the names which will avoid allocating the same name being used twice should be reduced. Note - only ‘reduced’; the name choice routine does not check (and never has checked) for duplicate results from the hashing, however the chances of getting a duplicate are considerably less in this versiontwice if it can. However, if there are more name mappings required than the 44 available names the algorithm will fall back to using hash-based choice of name.
