Guess What?

Smith, Jones, Wilson, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Davis, Miller, Moore, Taylor, Anderson, Thomas, Jackson, White, Harris, Martin, Thompson, Robinson, Lewis, Lee, Walker, Hall, Allen, Young, King, Wright, Hill, Scott, Green, Adams, Baker, Nelson, Carter, Mitchell, Roberts, Turner, Phillips, Campbell, Parker, Edwards, Evans, Collins, Stewart, Morris, Rogers, Reed, Cook, Morgan, Bell, Murphy, Bailey, Cooper, Richardson, Cox, Howard, Ward . . .

These and others are the most common American surnames extant.

Moving up:

Step aside Moore and Taylor. Welcome Garcia and Rodriguez.

Smith remains the most common surname in the United States, according to a new analysis released yesterday by the Census Bureau. But for the first time, two Hispanic surnames — Garcia and Rodriguez — are among the top 10 most common in the nation, and Martinez nearly edged out Wilson for 10th place.

The number of Hispanics living in the United States grew by 58 percent in the 1990s to nearly 13 percent of the total population, and cracking the list of top 10 names suggests just how pervasively the Latino migration has permeated everyday American culture.

Two points:
  1. It isn’t “Latino” or “Hispanic.” It is MEXICAN.
  2. I’ll take Gonzalez over Mohammad ANY DAY

  1. And to the best of my knowledge, there have been no Mexicans fly planes into the WTC or the Pentagon…

    But if they ever get organized, we’re in deep shit…

  2. You also need to include that the “average” non-hispanic has less than 2 children while the average hispanic family as more than 4. The average white is older by about 10 yrs than the average black or hispanic.
