Not on the top 500 - however I have a flaming Gay art professor, a miss teen Illinois now a newscaster, and many engineers and architects in Germany and Swizterland in my internet family. Many Canadians too.

Mine is in the 280's.

I scrolled all the way up to 1000, and didn't see it before I realized there was a search available. God I'm slow this morning.

In the 3000s. Surprising, because it's a fairly common last name in my hometown. My friend's surname, Kang, was twice as common.

Lee and Kim are high.

So are Kennedy, Clinton and Bush.

My name is nowhere to be found. My mother's maiden name is the most common of all (Smith).
