Some flies from ‘White House’ have entered my tiny little ‘Pink House’. They are troubling me. I requested them to go, but they are not leaving me alone. Initially I thought they are colorblind, they don’t get the difference between white and pink. (Surprised face)
But, they are threatening me that they would enter the ears of Google and MSFT and tell my new startup ideas. (Crying face) I won’t be able to stand up then, my ideas would just remain ideas. Can someone from white house call these flies back? I don’t want to hit them, they are from white house, you see.

Bye Bye!

This is a really great top ten list, I have a friend named John Smith and had no idea it was #1 by far. Also have a friend named Chris Smith and thought that might be on the list too. Anyone can post their own list to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

What about names that can be spelled different ways are they all grouped together or are they separate.

Are they going by the way names are pronounced or the way they are spelled.

Such as

John, Jon

Brittany, Britney, Brittney

Kevin, Kevan, Kevyn

Please clarify what is considered Latin America
Every place in the Americas beside the US, Bermuda, Belize, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Falkland Islands, Guyana, Canada (excluding Quebec) and Suriname are Latin places.

The rest of the places either speak French, Spanish, Portuguese which are all Latin languages.

You know, as I wrote in my previous article on http://www.rev2.org, the facebook name thing was a real joke. Would rather see you expose who took the best names in each category

There’s an error on the Full Name Count: “Juan Carlos” is not a full name, but a composite name (a combination of first + middle name). Carlos is not a last name.

Juan Carlos is in most cases not a full name, but a first name and a second name that are combined quite often in Spanish speaking countries.
