I found this great website which was linked from the newspaper I read.

You put in your surname and it tells you where other people in the world live with the same surname.

It shows the data on a world map and shows statistics of where most of them live. Apparently most of the people with my surname live in Australia.

Anyway take a look here

My maiden name is very rare but there were a few out there, good stuff!

Mine shows up mainly in Argentina and Spain.

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

They seem to have taken the maps down temporarily to fix problems, but... in descending order:

Germany
Austria
USA
Switzerland
France

Apparently one of the top first names for my surname is Guenther. I don't think I'll be changing my name to that anytime soon.
