What about uncomon names?
Interestingly enough, I know a family named Ungarisher of Polish descent.
And the name POLLAK happens to be common amongst Hungarians, funny isnt it?
I think we are all pretty wrong.. the most common two last names are: MD and ESQ….
havesomeseichel: those are trademarks of mdlevine and cantoresq, respectively.
squeak,
a bit late, but I second your nomination of jphone’s post to the hall of fame.
Joseph- my point exactly! If there are two who admit it, then I bet we can find people who do not use it as their sn… But really, Jews are big in the doctor/lawyer professions…..
great! I’ll do the copy/paste labor in the morgen.
the “md” in mdlevine has nothing to do with the medical profession
Forget abou MD or ESQ, how about SLP?
(Isn’t that the speech therapy initals?) Also, add the special ed initials…
mdlevine: i was actually going to say that for ya, since you have not been around lately!!! good to see ya mdlevine!!!!
there was a joke(ok not really a joke) that i read…i 4got it but its s/t like -almost all frum last names end with either man,berg,stein,owitz,sky…..i 4got the rest but it was cute when i heard it i just messed it up along the way
Solomon is a fairly common last name.
I think Moderator is a very common last name around here.
Is it a last name, or just the prefix of the last name?
That is asking too much personal info.
Against the rules, sorry.
Looking through my cell phone contact list I think Friedman is the most common last name. I have a lot of those in my phone book, some with the same first name so I have to add their location, age, or some other identifying thing to the name to differentiate.
I think the most common last name in my phone book used to be “Cell”.
oh you know both dovid friedmans too? what a small world!
😉
mod42: seriously cell????
Yep, and their brothers’ Moishe Friedman. (is that you?)
hey how did you know??

sung to the tune of “76 Trombones” from The Music Man by Meredith Wilson. Lyrics parodized by Allan Sherman:
“Seventy-six Sol Cohens in the country club,
And a hundred and ten nice men named Levine!
And there’s more than a thousand Finks
Who parade around the links-
It’s a sight that really must be seen…”
also from Allan Sherman, from the song, “Shake Hands with Your Uncle Max, My Boy,” the list of all the friends and relatives on Ocean Parkway:
“
Meet..
Merowitz, Berowitz, Handelman, Schandelman
Sperber and Gerber and Steiner and Stone
Boskowitz, Lubowitz, Aaronson, Baronson,
Kleinman and Feinman and Freidman and Cohen.”
“Smallowitz, Wallowitz, Tidelbaum, Mandelbaum
Levin, Levinsky, Levine and Levi
Brumburger, Schlumburger, Minkus and Pinkus
And Stein with an “e-i” and Styne with a “y” “
Miller
