Alphabetizing
Hi. If you add a link please add it in proper alphabetical location (or not). -- Superclear
Common Names/Unique Names
We need better terms than these; I highly doubt that (for example) there is only one person named Chuck Jones out there, even if there's only one listed on Wikipedia. -- Kazrak 18:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Jonah
" 'Jonah' – a name of Icelandic origins suggesting a Viking connection "
Pardon? Jonah is a Hebrew name. Ordinary Person 01:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Origin
I don't believe the origin of the surname has been pinned down to happening in Wales, last time I did some research into this (about a year ago), there was still dispute about the possibility of it originating from Anglicised Norman names. Regardless of this, it'd be nice if the statement of the origin on this page were cited.
Most likely Welsh
My grandmother's maiden name was Jones, and she and her family where from Wales, the name must be of an Welsh origin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.246.56 (talk) 23:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
are surnames "popular" as such in the same way that given names are or are they just "common" in that they aren't actually chosen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.60.64.61 (talk) 18:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
'J's are in Welsh
The letter 'J' is actually found in the Welsh language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.246.56 (talk) 19:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
