Hey, what happened to the name Joyce? I couldn't find it on the list. It happens to be my maiden name & I thought it was a common Irish surname??

I'm not too pleased at all. First, I consider "Smith" a popular name not a common one. Second, I'm a Celtic Smith with origins in County Cavan, after being chased from County Down by the plantation. Perhaps you should read my book "The Last of the Fenians" available on Kindle. James Francis Smith
CARDIN what is that from? Can't find any information
What about Burke,Bourke, de Burgh.where do they come in ????
Since my maiden name was Kelly I am proud to be in the top ten.
I have never heard that BRAY was an Irish name. But BRAY is what donkeys do, so maybe there is some connection.
I have heard in checking the family name out, that BRAY is an Irish name, could this be true. We have stayed in Bray Ireland so do hear the name when in Ireland.
Great. They are all lovely names. Just wonder about the Kehoe's....:)
Where's Singh? And Oblachayava? Ngombo not there either? How about Chen and Yang? That list is completely out of date.
Well, now look at yer man---he's contradicted himself! 'Walsh' means 'Welsh' as from Wales. If you can include the Welsh, include the Scots, but never include the English! (Though Marie Smith from South Florida is more Irish than I!)
What happened to Bailey,Clark and Hallford?
So What.
They all are solid surnames - would O'Flynn have made it in the top 20?
