March 8, 201511 yr Best guess Smith Jones Williams White Brown Johnson Davis I would think the two most common Mexican surnames and most common Chinese surname might finish up the list but have no idea what those might be. Can't we leave race out of this. :lol2:

March 9, 201511 yr Smith is the most common name in my county. Gabbard is number two. That would be a good discussion thread: What are the top two or three most common names in your county? I went to the voter rolls and the phone book to determine it for Owsley County. Other common names in the county are Barrett, Wilson, Marshall, Bowling, and Baker. Smith the number one surname in most of the English speaking countries. Originated from the occupation of being a smith---blacksmith, tinsmith, gunsmith, goldsmith, etc.

March 11, 201511 yr 6,7, and 10 are Latino names. 9 is a surprise to me. You're looking at a different list than I am. Latinos are 8 & 9. By the way, I work with 3 people named Garcia and 2 named Rodriguez. It used to be 3 Rodriguezes, but one married a Jones.
