Q. What's in a Name?
I was just looking in the U.S. Census Bureau at the top surnames (last names) in the last count.
The top 10 are as follows: (give it room for errors, the government can't know everything)
1. Smith - Big Surprise. How many years has this name been first?
2. Johnson - I hear it often, my great-grandmother's maiden name was Johnson.
3. Williams - I am privileged to know a reputable family with this name.
4. Brown - A close friend has the last name and is lucky he wasn't named Charlie!
5. Jones - Whenever I think of this name, I think of neighbors or something.
7. Miller - My mother reads the Amish books of; Miller and Yoder.
8. Garcia - This is the first time a Hispanic name has made top 10 in America.
9. Rodriguez - Along with Garcia, this name replaced Moore and Taylor this year.
10. Wilson - I think of an old couple (sorry to anyone with the last name, but they are a nice couple!)
| Here just for comparison. |
Anywho (as a Southern "Newfield" says), It's just something to ponder. Not long hours in a garden while the rain is pouring on you, but maybe on a bus waiting for your stop, reading the newspaper headlines in the {hands of the} sketchy man in front of you.
Ok, now I gotta go catch some missing Zzz's!
