Surnames, find yours here!

daib0 · May 12, 2012

Just for fun, here are firstly the top current 100 English + Welsh surnames, then Scottish ... anyone recognize their own name? Mine's Scottish, so doesn't appear in English/Welsh lists but makes top 70 north of border!

Any surprises in the lists? - Names not where you expected to find them, or some non-inclusion?

I've also included major European countries, as you'll surely recognize some sporting personality names, politicians etc.

Enjoy ...

My maiden name is in both top 10 for English & Scottish ( but it isn't Smith, Jones or Brown).

I'm not surprised though, we always were common. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Where are the Irish ones!

daib0 · May 12, 2012

Where are the Irish ones!

True, will try to look them out ...

McRamFan · May 12, 2012

True, will try to look them out ...

Cheers

May 12, 2012

Neither my maiden, or my married name are on any list.

Would like to be MrsRamos tho... 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> (if married to sergio - not just some random Ramos from off the street lol)

blackNwhites · May 12, 2012

Thought my name was quite common but must just be in the Derbyshire area. Have a feeling it'll make the Irish listings though. Perhaps not.

Didn't make the top 100, might investigate more.

randombc · May 12, 2012

Many thanks there, I hadn't got around to it yet!

Leicester Ram · May 12, 2012

Clough is not in any of the top 100's. This shows a lack of ambition from Nigel and the board, which is ultimately why we're going nowhere.

CLOUGH OUT, BOARD OUT.

WorksopRam · May 12, 2012

Number 9 in Scotland, oosh! Please, no jokes.

Mr Tibbs · May 12, 2012

Number 9 in Scotland, oosh! Please, no jokes.

Ei ei o.

I'll get me coat....

Mine isn't anywhere to be seen.

CLOUGH OUT, BOARD OUT.

We should sign Walter Smith up as manager. Or Mel Smith. Top of the league.

Viking Wolf · May 12, 2012

my surname isnt on the list funny how some of the names in the english list dont sound english

daib0 · May 12, 2012

Also, these maps are out-of-date but give really interesting general guides as to which part of the country your forefathers actually came from -

[url=http://www.ancestry.co.uk/name-origin?surname=McDermott]http://www.ancestry.co.uk/name-origin?surname=McDermott

the search facility is pretty good ...

By the way, at the top of the map where it says England-Wales, you can easily cue in Scotland to see how the name does there as well.

(McDermott simply shows on the link 'cos I was checking out the Reading manager's name last, and is not spam!)

rams71 · May 12, 2012

Number 26 in the list of English for me,that'll do me

RamOfKansas · May 13, 2012

#20 in the English list.

**rynny** · May 14, 2012

Mine isn't on any of them, just as I expected. Bloody Irish surname!! 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
