I collected 3724 samples each for IPv4 and IPv6.
3323 IPv4 samples had names.
2919 IPv6 samples had names.

There were 300 unique IPv4 addresses and 275 unique IPv4 names.
There were 275 unique IPv6 addresses and 119 unique IPv6 names.

I didn't check to see if the forward DNS matched.

The longest IPv4 name was 49 characters.
The longest IPv6 name was 44 characters.

IPv4 has 4% longer than 39, 6% if you only consider uniq names.
IPv6 has 1.5% longer than 39, 3% if you only consider uniq names.
