[jboking]

Mine is Horne, which is very common here in the United States.

 

[Roamin11]

Musyj, if you can pronounce it, you win life, I will come back later and say how it is said, its very uncommon

Moose-eeje?

Mine's Michaloski. It's incredibly rare here in the Southern US. People struggle with it all the time.

 

[Colours]

Mine is Hewitt.

It isn't rare, but it's no Smith either.

I would love a cooler sounding name.

28 votes on 'very unique'. I wonder if the people who voted for that option can say that googling their surname brings up 992 results of which only 2 might not have anything to do with their family.

That said, it seems rather obvious why I am reluctant to give out the information. If you really insist on knowing and/or double-checking it, throw me a PM.

 

[Gmano]

I won`t give my name out to people on the internet. Suffice it to say there are like 20 of us, 12 of them are my immediate family.

 

[Slayer_2]

"MacDonald", so pretty damn common. Not quite as popular as "Smith" though.

 

[Emperor Inferno]

fairly common

I'm not telling you dicks my name

[HE Starwind]

My last name is Astell. Not even google finds Astells that aren't relatives.

 

[Chrislt]

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.

That's weird, because I have never heard of anyone with that last name(McNeil).

 

[LongAndShort]

Joseph. Not really common, not really unique. Even my fucking surname seems to occupy middle ground.

 

[Emperor Inferno]

also, about the last option, I can only think of this now:

"Never fear... Smith is here."

Crap, now I really wanna watch The Matrix again.

 

[Mozared]

My last name is Astell. Not even google finds Astells that aren't relatives.

You know for sure Mary Astell who lived from 1666 to 1731 is a relative of yours?

 

[mrhappyface]

My name means "woodcutter" in german. It stands out a lot and everyone mispronounces it. Ever single year of high school they spelled it wrong in they yearbook. If you fully translate my name, it means "Brave Weasel Woodcutter."
I can't picture that.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

Mine's Schelvis, which is a family name for certain types of fish.
It's fairly rare, there's probably less than a 100 people in this country called that.

 

[Ocelot GT]

"I AM THE GREETEST NOW I AM LEAVING FOR NO RAISIN!" (glee)

Is that from Red vs Blue? I know have heard that quote somewhere

Futurama, from the episode when Brains attack Earth and Fry fights off the big brain.

Oh yeah! Now I remember, apparently Fry needs to return to elementary school. >_>

This one's been a question in my family for a while, my nan says yes, but my late grandad said otherwise and she was insane to believe so. So I really don't know.

 

[Christemo]

mine is so rare most people without a danish accent cant pronounce it properly.

the surname´s Aurig, btw.

 

[Emilin_Rose]

Rose. Really common.
