Surnames

My friend Kristi put up a bulletin on Myspace. I clicked on it and it let to PBS site. On the page you put your surname in and it shows you where your name ranks in America.

My married name Taylor is Number 12! Don’t feel as original now. Hee hee! :)

My maiden name Johns ranked 625. Now I feel better. I wouldn’t have thought that it would be that high up there. Growing up I didn’t know anyone else by the name of Johns. Well that isn’t 100 percent true. I knew there was a family around Collegeville named Johns that I didn’t know.

I also put in my Moms maiden name Witte. That ranked 3,575! Now that is an original name!

I added the link above so everyone can have fun with it!
