Post by: The D on Sep 16, 2008, 06:01:41 PM: I was searching for the source of my last name online, since someone once told me I'm Scottish in origin. So far I've found a Lawyer in Hawaii, a systems engineer in Ohio, a doctor in California, and a couple in Colorado who all share my last name. I've found out that most people with my last name hail from the northern states, primarily the midwest and north east. I also found out that at least 11 people with my last name fought in teh Civil War for the North.

Edit: and someone in Arizona, 24, who likes anime, and a network tech in Houston. And someone wrote a book about my last name....

And if you search for your name using the search engine at the bottom of this site (http://names.mongabay.com/), it will tell you how many people have your surname according to the 2000 US census.

Quote
******** ranks # 82691 in terms of the most common surnames in the United States for 2000.

****** had 212 occurences in the 2000 Census, according the U.S. government records.

Edit2: According to ancestry.com, my last name is actually an English version of a German name... sigh... *burns his kilt* :(

Title: Re: Well, I won't be writing any hot checks....
Post by: Derrick on Sep 19, 2008, 06:11:30 AM: Maybe not in Philly. Little Italies are different.

Post by: Derrick on Sep 19, 2008, 06:33:27 PM: The Baltimore accent is even more annoying.
Title: Re: Well, I won't be writing any hot checks....
Post by: Faye Valentine on Sep 20, 2008, 10:06:42 AM: If I have to make my list of most annoying accents, it'd go like this:
1) Tennessee. Makes me want to rip my ear drums off
2) Staten Island / Brooklyn.
3) South Philly

Post by: Derrick on Sep 20, 2008, 12:08:14 PM: Have you heard a Baltimore accent? It's worse than all of those.
