Reply:just google it, you'll find lists and lists of names!!





this is my surname and it's got a strange little story...





"du Toit" (pronounced du Twa)





Francois du Toit was one of the French Hugenots who fled to South Africa during the procecution of the protestants in France. Because of this there are few Du Toit's left in France, but quite a lot of them in Sout Africa and other countries where the protestants fled. :-)

For American surnames, I love the US Census Bureau list of most common names - starting with Smith and working its way down. Great to use. I have it bookmarked. Pax - C
