Am I the only one recognizing this?

[Shoegazing Leo]

My problem is that usually I need to say that there is two S and one L and not two ZZ and the final letter is a I and not a E. It's easy giving the ID.

Duplode last name is a tree: pinetree. There are some portuguese surnames with names of trees like some footballers: Parreira (grape vine), Daniel Carvalho and Ricardo Carvalho (Oak), Ricardo Oliveira (Olive), Zezé and Aymoré Moreira (Mora).

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Two more names to the list:

Szabee - Szabolcs Tóth
kahdra (only USC so far) - Ildikó Móricz

[CTG]

Here are the most popular Hungarian family names, with their translation (according to Wikipedia, from ~10,000,000 inhabitants). As you can see, nation and profession names are dominant.

232,549 - Nagy (=Big / Large)
214,678 - Kovács (=Smith)
210,424 - Tóth (tót=a synonym for "Slovak")
207,383 - Szabó (=Tailor)
198,598 - Horváth (horvát=Croatian)
136,587 - Varga (=Cobbler / Shoemaker, practically I'm "Peter Schumacher" )
129,613 - Kiss (kis with one "s" means small / little)
105,813 - Molnár (=Miller)
90,586 - Németh (német=German)
82,740 - Farkas (=Wolf)
81,101 - Balogh (=Left-handed)
52,175 - Papp (pap=Priest)
51,287 - Takács (=Weaver)
50,587 - Juhász (=Shepherd)
48,276 - Lakatos (=Locksmith)
39,494 - Mészáros (=Butcher)
38,338 - Oláh (synonym for Romanian)
37,491 - Simon
35,084 - Rácz (rác is a synonym of Serbian)
34,066 - Fekete (=Black)
...
23,017 - Pintér (=Cooper / Barrelmaker; I don't know which one is preferred by Akoss Poo and Lupuszka ); 29th place anyway
...
Quite surprising, but Ács (=Carpenter) is not in TOP100 - so there are less than 10,000 of them in Hungary. However, I guess they are between #101 and #120.

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Wheelwright=Bognár, while Left-handed=Balogh

[CTG]

Wheelwright=Bognár, while Left-handed=Balogh

Corrected, my eyes ran over a few columns and rows... (Bognár is 65th anyway)

[zaqrack]

I like how these Brazilian surnames rather reflect the location than the profession/nationality.

[Shoegazing Leo]

I like how these Brazilian surnames rather reflect the location than the profession/nationality.

The most of brazilian surnames are portuguese. On the TOP 30 only Cavalcanti is not portuguese. But the mine is not portuguese.

[zaqrack]

Shoegazing or Ramone neither sounds really portuguese indeed

OK, Bonassoli also not really
