My surname is "D'israeli", with the apostrophe. When I try to submit, it just generates a new captcha and says to try again. If I drop the apostrophe, it works fine.<p>Articles appear fairly regularly about names and assumptions thereof, and as someone doing stats on surnames, I would have hoped that a little punctuation would have been handled just fine....
The data for this for uncommon names seems really off.<p>My last name is uncommon, so the most popular first names shows 10 names, each at 10%, and my name is nowhere on the list. Searching on Google for my last name shows many results about a minor celebrity whose first name is also missing from the list.<p>On popular names this probably evens out, but for uncommon names I appear to not exist here.
