Chamberlain is a dope last name I don’t hear at all besides the white Yankee pitcher and the GOAT player Wilt (dont ask me how :wow:)

Cunningham is another one I haven’t seen or heard at all besides Randall Cunningham and the nba prospect Cade Cunningham (he’s gonna be an all star off the name marketing alone)

there's a boxer named Steve Cunningham. Fought and dropped Tyson Fury but lost. He's also fighting Frank Mir on the Jake Paul-Askren undercard.

We should make our own last names, we already do it with first names... so why not? :lawd:
:francis:Probably not a good idea...

Woman who worked in our elementary school was a Birdsong. She was related to the basketball player Otis Birdsong.
Have never seen/heard the name besides them.

Trotters are in Philly and Delaware

Weren't many, if any, Greek/Polish/Italian etc., slave owners...so of course you're not going to see Rashad Stamos, DeAndre Krzyzewski or Jamal D'Antoni......more like Rashad Smith, DeAndre King and Jamal Davis.


a few who do descend from these type of owners



^^talks about in this video @ :57


Freeman Hrabowski



Hrabowski was born in segregated Birmingham, Alabama, the only child of his parents, both of whom were educators.[14] His mother was an English teacher who decided to become a math teacher, and she used the young Hrabowski as a guinea pig at home. His father had been a math teacher and then went to work at a steel mill because, as Hrabowski is quoted as saying, "frankly, he could make more money doing that."[failed verification] Frequently asked about the origin of his unusual surname, Hrabowski explains that he is the great-great-grandson of Eaton Hrabowski, a slave owned by and named for slave owner Samuel Hrabowski.[15] In a CBS television interview, Hrabowski recounted that he is the third Freeman Hrabowski; his grandfather was the first Freeman Hrabowski born a free man, as opposed to having to be freed.[16]

Willie Vincent Piazza


The Storyville madam who challenged Jim Crow—and won | The Historic New Orleans Collection

reveals that Piazza was born around 1865 in southwestern Mississippi, the daughter of an African American woman named Celia Caldwell and a white Italian immigrant named Vincent Piazza. They were unmarried and by the 1880s and were living in separate cities in the state. Willie Piazza, taking her father’s surname, established herself in New Orleans in the 1890s, remaining there until she died at the age of 67 in 1932 at her home, the former brothel on Basin Street.
