Our Secretary in our Broussard office is a Trahan. I thought this was the correct way to say it?

Cheramie and Terrebonne are very common in Lafourche and Terrebonne but probably not as much elsewhere.

I once counted the number of pages in a Ville Platte phone book. 50. Of the 50 pages, 11 of them were Fontenot.

You're right about that. My company has an office in Ville Platte with about 20 employees. 8 of the 20 are Fontenot's.

There's probably a lot of blending and crossing of French Creole and Cajun. Maybe that's why regional names are more common in certain areas.
