The Average Name of a US President

(I'm using the Mode Method from this post to average these names.)

If you separately average the first, middle, and last names of all the presidents, you get:

FIRST NAME - Jar(r/n/e)(a/e/s) | possible options - Jarra, Jarre, Jarrs, Jarna, Jarne, Jarns, Jarea, Jaree, Jares

MIDDLE NAME - None, lol (most of the early presidents didn't have middle names, because I guess they just didn't have those back then?)

LAST NAME - (H/T)ar(h/m/n)(s/e) | possible options - Harhs, Harhe, Harms, Harme, Harns, Harne, Tarhs, Tarhe, Tarms, Tarme, Tarns, Tarne

I will make part two where I don't separately average the first, middle, and last names (so just considering each name whole for the average).

Tag yourself, I'm Jarne Tarne.

My Methods for Averaging Words

I currently have two methods I use for averaging words:

Mode Method - Whichever letter is the most common first letter becomes the first letter of the average word. If there's a tie, the tied letters become possible options for the first letter (so there would be multiple options for the average word). Continue this process for the second, third, etc letters until you reach the end of the longest word (words that are shorter than the longest just get empty spaces counted in those places)

Chaotic Method - All letters have a number corresponding to their place in the alphabet. Now average all the numbers of all the first letters, and the number corresponding to that average is the first letter of the average name. Continue this for the rest of the letters.
