You're 94% Surname Savvy!

The higher the percentage score you receive, the more knowledgeable you are about world surname origins. If your score is below 25%, you may like to consider taking a more active interest in other cultures and geography in general ;). If you get above 75%, you're either extremely lucky or a professional surname etymologist :D.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 92% on Knowledge

So... you're a professional then?

68% for moi.
I need to brush up on my 'people who live in the arse end of nowhere' last names it seems.

[andabusers.livejournal.com]

I got 85%. It might help that I have a foreign last name.

It was easy too!

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Maybe I just expected it to be more difficult! There were one or two I wasn't sure about, and I obviously guessed wrongly...

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I thought most of them were dead obvious!

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

Snap! 94%

I wonder - did we get the same two wrong?

(Garcia as Spanish not Uruguyan - could be either, I think - and the Nigerian/Egyptian choice for a name I'm now blanking on)

Re: Snap! 94%

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

I went for Egyptian for that one, and I assumed that Nguyen was Chinese, although I thought it might be Vietnamese...I also missed the Garcia choice, having stopped at the obvious!

I want to know which I got wrong!

it was quite easy, i mean some of the palces i'd never heard of, but i still managed a respectable score

Re: I want to know which I got wrong!

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

I think one of them had a choice between Spain and Uruguay which is just silly, and I got an oriental one wrong I think...

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Aye, most of them could be easily worked out from the letters.
