Poll: How unique is your surname?

[Garaw]

Mine is from the Vulgar Latin for 'translator', and it seems fairly unique. Although I've met a few other people with the same name, and there are some T.V. characters with it as well.

 

[ObsessiveSketch]

My name is Italian, but it was butchered when my grandfather came to America. So everybody with my surname is somehow directly related to me. 100% unique

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

I have a greek surname, it's 18 letters long, and there's only 1 of me on facebook/google.

 

[irishdelinquent]

My last name is not horribly uncommon; Elliott. What is more uncommon is that particular spelling of Elliott that my family has. What's rarer still is finding someone who spells name properly the first time.

 

[Acaroid]

Well my whole name is so unique im the only one with the combination on this earth...
My last name is latvian and my first name is welsh, so as you can imagnie it is kinda strange

also can be directly translated into speckled fish :|

 

[Broady Brio]

I've never seen or talked to anyone who had the name "Broadhurst." Did a facebook search and there's about 10 of me. Now if I put my middle name, I'm sure I will be the only one.

 

[Klepa]

Not unique in the slightest.
Most common surname in Finland, roughly translating to "Small current". I guess a lot of people have that surname, as there's a lot of them small currents 'round our neck of the woods.

On the positive side, I have a drink named after me.
On the negative side, it's Vodka mixed with an energy drink called Battery, and tastes like urine.

 

[amrl]

My surname is Hope, I've only heard of one other person outside of my family with that surname, that person would be Bob Hope.

EDIT:// Though I imagine it would be more common over in Britain.

I know quite a few Hopes.

I live in Britain.

 

[Aesir23]

My surname is Hope, I've only heard of one other person outside of my family with that surname, that person would be Bob Hope.

EDIT:// Though I imagine it would be more common over in Britain.

I know quite a few Hopes.

I live in Britain.

My paternal grandfather actually moved to Canada from Britain, so that would probably explain it.

 

[Racistman3d]

My last name is Hockey, and I have met quite a few others who I am not related to, so I'd say it's somewhat common (at least where I live).

 

[Mikaze]

No-one else in the phonebook has the same surname as my family, neither does anyone on Facebook as far as I can tell. Beat that.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

Park

But if you spell it backwards, it spells "Krap" : D

 

[Mr_toenibbler]

My surname is Brossard.

Apparently it's also the name of a city in Quebec >_>.

 

[zombflux]

Never met or heard of anyone else with my surname, outside of family.

 

[Kud]

my last name is veeeerrryy~ unique... i bet no-one else has a last name like "Guihot"

 

[Pegghead]

Well my last name is Radovan, and coming from Croatian heritage it means care and joy, well the rad part does anyway. Alot of people say it like Ra-Doh-ven but it's pronounced like Rad-o-van. Keep that in mind if you ever meet one of us, or you actually meet ol' Pegghead at this long discussed and dreamed about Escapist gathering.

 

[Knife-28]

Mine's Weatherburn.
A Cookie to anyone who knows anyone with that surname other than Doctor Don Weatherburn.

 

[Schizzy]

Tan.

For a chinese, that's as good as a Smith.
