From: Haravikk Mistral In fact, why in the heck don't they just let us type in a last-name too? All it needs to do is force us to stick to just one word (ie no spaces in last-names) and it should be fine.
Then give a drop-down as suggestions, or implement one of those 'search as you type' style things. That's a good question, although I could theorize, and think that limiting the number of last names to a small subset could speed up searches. However considering they have had the practice in place since the beginning, I highly doubt they had that kind of foresight.  |

From: Trevor Langdon ... Btw, I like your idea for the website. Once you have it up and working, I'll hop over and sign-up. It would be interesting for you to generate a list of all known last names with their respective counts. It would make for a very interesting list, I should think. It's Up! http://slnamewatch.comIt has a list of all known last names and their respective usage counts. Enjoy!

From: hope Antonelli Did I just miss it or is Antonelli not on the list? It's in there. In the status column, click on [Show All] This reveals the RETIRED names. If you click on the heading of the "Last Name" column to sort by last name, you'll show up towards the bottom of the first page.
