If your bored... try this

During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a binary code contest took place. The contest consisted of a binary code transmission where the spaces between the letters were missing and there was no punctuation. Each letter of the alphabet was translated into its binary equivalent based on its position in the alphabet.

a=1         b=10        c=11        d=100
e=101       f=110       g=111       h=1000
i=1001      j=1010      k=1011      l=1100
m=1101      n=1110      o=1111      p=10000
q=10001     r=10010     s=10011     t=10100
u=10101     v=10110     w=10111     x=11000
y=11001     z=11010

Can you find 10 boy's names?
