Poll: How unique is your surname?

[Ocelot GT]

So how unique is your surname with regards to where you live?
Example, Chan or Salvatorei might be common surnames in some countries but might be pretty odd/unique for the one in which you live.

My name surname is Anderson... it's pretty common and dull

 

[Sassafrass]

Mine's Owen.
Pretty common, I think.

 

[Arcticflame]

I'm changing my name, but at the moment --> My last name is in the poll, it's smith.

I'm changing my name to my mother's last name soon though, it's much more interesting, and fairly uncommon.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Rare where I am, but there are lots of me on Facebook. I was actually scared to realise there were 4 of me in one facebook group. As in, my whole name, not just my surname.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Mine is rare enough for people to mispronouce it. Never met someone with the same last name, except my cousin did a facebook search and said she found some people with it

 

[Cakes]

McNeil.
Quite common.
I hate it.

My mother's maiden name of McCarthy though, I wish I had that. It's still quite common, but is classy as all hell.

 

[DasAShinyGolash]

my names ravilojan, that speaks for it self

 

[darkless]

Surname is Furey only know one other person with this surname outside my family.

 

[Aitruis]

Smith. Seriously. Everyone thinks I'm Mormon. (I live in a Mormon-heavy area) But I'm a blacksmith, so it actually works.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

Im a Puertorican and my last name is Silver. A German/Jewish name is pretty unique here lol.

 

[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.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Very rudonkoulusly exotic.

I did the facebook thing, and it turns out that its less then 100 people in America.

However, if I went to greece it wouldn't be all that unique.

Its not long if thats what your thinking.

 

[skywalkerlion]

Vincent.

Joshua Vincent.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Mine's very common in Portugal and many people around here can guess my nationality just by listening to my surname. But they will still mispell it.

It's Goncalves, not Gonsalves!

 

[NeutralDrow]

Sorta common where I live. I know there's even at least one other guy in San Diego with the same surname and given name as me, since I went to school with him years ago. The teacher had to use our middle names...

 

[JenXXXJen]

Ha, Anderson, same as you.

 

[Syphonz]

Griffiths. Its such a British name you can practically see the Union Jack flying behind it.... Too bad I live in Canada.

 

[Immortal_Anarchist]

Chilcott. Everyone always asks how to spell it... every time.
