Just yesterday I was interviewing at a firm in Singapore and the principle said "I read your email and was wondering if you were Finnish". This has happened to me before. When people meet me after a few emails back and forth, I have been told that they thought I was Japanese or Finnish. Then I tried out the link you recommended and it looks like my surname is found only in 3 countries: New Zealand and you can guess the other two. Then I realized, that the frequency of people contributing to those numbers must be very low...so bottom line, I have been taking my surname all over the world...just kidding...only new york and georgia ;)<br /><br />Really cool visual map by the way.AAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757446995691224146noreply@blogger.com
