Most people would not associate my married name with a particular ethnicity. My maiden name they would.
-
I'll give you my grandmother's maiden name - O'leary - can you guess?? LOL
-
I kept my ex husbands last name and people automatically assume I am Danish. My maiden name would be a dead giveaway that my heritage is Irish/Scottish. That and the fact that I have red hair and green eyes :)
-
My maiden name is very hard to pick - infact, I'm not even sure of the heritage myself. When people hear my married name they usually said "That sounds Indian" (Native American), which is correct.
-
you would never guess mine by my name.
-
Actually, no you wouldn't. As we email each other, you know my name. But, when my great-grandfather immigrated to this country, his last name was "Americanized." My last name is not the original ethnic spelling. But, if you'd like to make a couple guesses, I'll let you know! My ancestory is pretty mixed, anyway (I'm a typical "mutt").
-
You might guess my former husband's background (only partially) but certainly not mine..you would know mine if I were to tell you my maiden name and you were knowledgeable about specific names equating to specific nationalities. :)
-
You would easily guess mine by my name.
-
"Erickson" is obviously some sort of "Viking" name, but not everyone knows the minor differences between Sweden, Norway, & Finland.
-
My surname sounds as German as jackboots.
-
Unless you were into geneaology, you'd probably never guess my nationality based on my last name.
-
If I gave you my fathers name you wouldn't have a clue but my mothers name you would get it right first try.
-
You'd know I was Scottish immediately.
-
You couldn't guess from my maiden name unless possibly you heard me pronounce it.
-
You'd definitely guess Flynn (my father's birth family's name) You may guess Carlin (my maiden name) Both are 100% Ireland. ^_^
-
Lee. My family is actually from two nationalities. In one of them, my surname is actually meant to be spelt Li and in the other, it's spelt as Ri. If I gave you my middle name you could guess one of the nationalities straight away.
-
You would be able to guess that my heritage is from a Slavic nation but not which one. :)
-
You would guess something about the heritage of my great-grandfather. And it would not be absolutely acurate, because he modified his name...
