This is so cool! Five of the names here are in my family tree! :) Could you accept Davis for Davies? They're essentially the same name.

Is that Pete Doherty in the picture? I only got the few surnames that are either in my family or are friend's names, plus his.

Yes, I expected there to be many mroe than that. I lost a lot of time trying to think of "Macs" and ended up missing a ton of really obvious names like Davis and Williams.

I typed Patterson instead of Paterson, I think it should be accepted considering the minority of people that have ever guessed it.

Lived in Wales all my life (both North and South) and never met anyone with the surname Driscoll. Must be concentrated in a very specific part of the country.
