quote:3 of my 4 grandparents' last names (including maiden names for my grandmothers) aren't in the top 200. My mom's maiden name is in the top 5 though
Glad mine is more unique.
Even my mom’s maiden name isn’t listed.

It's like TRAW-haw, or something like that. I'm not great at spelling words phonetically.
ETA: TRAH might be more correct than TRAW, like I said I suck at spelling phonetically.

I went to Thanksgiving at the Hebert house one year. After dinner, they all went outside and tossed a football at Eric Allen.

Thought there would be more than this, seems like these people are everywhere. I don't think i've ever met a bad Landry and they all seem to be knowingly related to one another.

I’d just like to say to anyone not from Louisiana reading this thread...
7) Richard
Is pronounced “ree-shard”. Like retard but with an “sh” in place of the “t”.
