146 in the 206

How common is your surname in America?

And yet, I've only met one other person not related to me, randomly in an airport line. The dude saw my labelled luggage and blurted out that he had the same last name too, but had never met non-family Palmers. It was one of those mutual revelations that we are not alone . . .

My name isn't on the list. Oh well. Neither is M-N's maiden name. I guess that makes us special.

Mine is #69. Ahem.

My mom's maiden name wasn't on there, either.

I was also a little surprised to see that Nguyen ranked higher than Palmer.

Nguyen is huge. I know a ton. I checked my mother's maiden name -- also not there. M-N's dad's name?
12724. My brother-in-law in New Mexico? 63!!!

Ok, I had to reach for that, but 63, that's the best of the handful of people commenting on your blog!

Half my HS were Nguyens. My grandmother's maiden name is #7. Don't know if that's cheating, though.

Hmm. My surname is 18741. I think I thought it would be lower.

Rainster said...

Hey, I didn't think mine would be 146... if my family is any indication, Palmers tend to have commitment issues, not marry, and not procreate.

Obviously, there are others out there countering our actions...
