Tell me...
Why have I never heard of anyone except Charles Darwin with the surname Darwin?
Same goes for Watt, Maxwell, Einstein...
Did these people get special one-surname allocations from the surname council, or is there a rule where families have to change surnames if one family member suddenly makes a surname famous?
There is a Hitler family, but in that case, it *did* change its name, and for good reason.
Still, why do famous people have uncommon surnames? What's the reason?
