[Joseph DeMartino]

Obviously #6 is "Drake" as in "John Drake"


My name came in at 11,750. I put in a bunch of names of in-laws and cousins as well. Only two came in in the top 500 - Dalton at 400 something and Rodriguez at 14.

Regards,

Joe

Well,
My current name, Garrett, was 243
But my maiden name, Smith, was number 1!!

 

[Jeff Ulmer]

3839. That's far more common than I would have thought. I guess some of my distant, distant cousins have been busy.

 

[Dennis*G]

1689 in the USA

 

[Chris]

320.

But my Wife's, which I'd figure much higher, isn't on the list tell much later..

Wong: 418.

 

[Justin*Smith]

My last name is ranked number one, no big surprise. What I find funny about this is how it relates to my buddy's girlfriend. Her last name is Smith. Her dad's name is Mike Smith. He has two brothers, Tom and Joe. Talk about the most common, plain name combinations in the US. Is there a site that gives the most common complete names? I bet these three would be up there.

I'm #45 with Evans. WooHoo.....I guess?

 

[Buzz Foster]

I'm number 85, still.

 

[Holadem]

No, you're 48.

The whole point of post #79 was to point to a new and updated list (the article is dated 11/17/2007 -- yesterday). Went right over everyone's head it seems

[troy evans]

Yeah I did miss that thanks Halodem. I gotta admit this is interesting. I'm #48 WooHoo......I guess?

 

[Mike Frezon]

I missed it, too. I had gone back to Post #1 and tried again.

Now that I've gone to Post #79 and used the NYT search engine...I'm still not on the list!

 

[Kevin Hewell]

Your last name is Babe?

 

[JonZ]

Wouldnt that be Hoggett?

 

[drobbins]

Robbins is surname number 364 in the USA.

 

[LDfan]

Well I didn't know my last name was popular at all but there is an entry in Wikipedia and an actual city by the same name.

Remer

 

[Buzz Foster]

"Foster is #87."

So, I am. I have had my HTF screen name fixed since the first time around, though.

 

[alan halvorson]

Halvorson is #5082. A lot of my mail is addressed to Halverson - number 2893 - but I'm a Halvorson, not a Halverson.

 

[Raymond lee Leggs]

 

[Steve Christou]

I'm surprised to find mine on there, at 47451.

Hmmm seems there are more Christou's than Travolta's or Pacino's in the US.

 

[Clinton McClure]

668. Lots of us Scots out there.
