I was just struck by a random thought, and I wondered if anyone else had thought about it.

We know of 2 shards for sure: Ati, and Laras. We strongly suspect one more: Dor.

So: Adonalsium

This would mean there are 10 Shards in all. And we have a hint to their possible names.

Or is this a little too obvious?

Well it could be, except the Mistborn Shards themselves were Ruin and Preservation. Ati and Leras were the beings that were attached to them, as I understood it.

No r or p in Adonalsium. Although I do like the idea.

Also, I think I remember hearing an approximate number of shards, and while I don't remember exactly what it was, I think it was more than ten (ten letters in Adonalsium).

The guess for the number of Shards was sixteen, as that number has great importance.

Ten is also an important number, which you'll see in Way of Kings--but it's important for reasons beyond what's in Way of Kings.

I'm about 99% sure the shard from WB is Endowment.   I do know for sure it's the voice speaking to Lightsong.  As for the pool, well, I couldn't get a straight yes or no.  I said that and he was like "Intresting" with a funny look.  But there are pools in all three of the books, so they must be important somehow.  (Chris, is there a pool in dragonsteel?)

Urhm, not that I remember.  Then again, I seem to have forgot a lot about that book.

Brandon confirmed in the b&n question and answer that the Voice's shard name is Endowment.

Can you remember anything specific about that?  (beyond him saying he was being vague on purpose)

the only specific that I remember is that look and him saying "Interesting", and then telling us that he wouldn't say we were right or wrong, just that it was interesting...

My interpretation is that Brandon is signaling we don't have the full story on the Shards in Elantris.

Yes, but still... That smirk... and that "interesting"... Makes me see red, that does...

Yeah, but he didn't do it to you in person.  This was in person because he ALMOST let something slip and caught himself.

And it was so close too... and then he was all like "No.. it's just interesting..."
