Your Name in A Long and Flowing Whig

Yes, this is a shameless ripoff of Glenn's thread for Dominion of Southern America. I'm looking for names to appear in the remake of my timeline A Long and Flowing Whig. The appearance of these names won't change the overall course of political events, but cabinet positions are definitely going to change. Trying to eliminate the use of people born after the PoD.(but I'll probably use a cheap method of just giving a different first name for OTL historical figures, like Charles Roosevelt or what not.)

So offer me your family names. Along with your name I would like to know the country of origin. Also, for those who know the timeline, what would you like to see more of?

Thanks in Advance
 
You can use my grandmother's family...........Powell. It's Welsh, and I think they came from Virginia originally. Hope it helps ya. :D
 
I will not give you my family name, but I can give you the names of some of my ancestors.

Lzuajkowski - Polish
Zdella- Czech
Smallwood- English
Swiggett- Irish
 
Wuori, it's Finnish. An apparently extremely common Finnish name, like "Smith".

If you have anybody important coming from Minnesota, Wisconsin, or the Michigan Panhandle, (The last of which is actually mostly populated by the descendants of Finns, the former two having an extremely large minority) it might be a good idea to use that name.

Buelle was my paternal grandmother's maiden name, of (Apparently) English descent. Has too many vowels to be English in my opinion, but that's what I'm told.

Orton was my mother's maiden name, although I'm not sure of it's descent. Her father was supposedly pure Norwegian, but Orton doesn't sound very Norwegian.

German was my maternal grandmother's maiden name. It was one of those names adopted by people coming through Ellis Island because they had some need to NOT use their old family name, and, guess what? It's from a German ancestor.
 
These are names that family memebers currently have, came from, or I just found interesting from my grandmother's research into the family history. If I get a chance to talk to my grandmother tonight I may add more names.

Snyder (German) my surname. According to my grandmother's geneaology research the family's first Snyder (Achim Snyder) came to North America in 1710.
Slook (Dutch) My maternal grandmother's maiden name. The family has been in the Philadelphia area for over three hundred years.
Wilfong (English) Maternal grandfather's family name. Been in the Philadlephia area for over three hundred years. (alternate spellings Wiltfong, Wildfong, Wilford)
Bush (English)
Hill (English) Paternal grandmother's maiden name. Been in the Philadelphia area for about two hundred years.
Dukenfields or Fields (English) While not in a direct descent from WC Fields, the family is related
Zuutphen (Dutch)
Tobin (Irish (Norman-saxon)) a corruption of the original name St. Aubyn (or de Aubyn, depending on the source). Been in the Philadelphia area for over two hundred years.
MacGowan (Scott) my wife's maiden name.
Portz (French) originally Ports in France, it was changed during colonial times when my wife's ancestors came to North America.
Ringgold (Welsh) married into the Slook Family at some point.

Not my own or closely related to me as far as I'm aware, but here are some last names I find cool:

Germanotta
Castellucio
Adlerssohn
Leitner
Hoffmann
Rosehill

This okay?
 
Weisshaupt- My mother's maiden name, Westphalian

Nicolai - My father's surname, Hessian

So if you need Germans you have a few nice suggestions.
 
Cerezo - Spanish
Corbiera (Corbière) - Occitan (It's almost only from Tarn département)
Sagon - French (Jura)
Perrini - Italian (Puglie)
Delforn (Delfour) - Occitan (More Lot or Gironde centered)
 
James Hebrard.

Hebrard was L'ebrard or something like that. French in origin.
OR
James Dossor.

Dossor was O'doser in Irish (several variations) or is scottish in origin, whom my old high scholl teacher once told me means 'street rat'
 
Barnabas Horton - cool name of an ancestor who built one of the first houses on Long Island in the 1640s

Leroy and Vada Rubb my great grandparents
 
Värjö. A very rare Finnish name.

Forssén. A pretty common Finno-Swedish surname.

Kerman. Pretty rare, ostensibly originally meaning "German".

Suomalainen. Literally "Finnish", quite common.

Ollikainen. A common Savonian name.


Wuori, it's Finnish. An apparently extremely common Finnish name, like "Smith".

Actually, its not that common with a W. The Finnish Population Information System lists only 101 Wuoris currently alive. In fact there are 5 times more Smiths in Finland than Wuoris.:)

The name is several times more common if with a V.

My surname is ... Mumby. From deepest darkest Lincolnshire, though there are a fair few of us in the industrial cities of Yorkshire and for some reason, New Zealand. My mum's maiden name is Harrison, from Nottingham.
