Appendix 2
Table 30 : Overall hit parade of simple
names
Here is a table that is concerning only one-name individuals (surname, first name or
nickname, the one by which they are best known).
We have a bit hesitated to let Washington overtake the Christ and
not to make him met with the same fate as Ford who also went before Christ with 2,4
million quotations. The difference is that Ford is a very common name, the name of several
famous characters and also the name of a mark of vehicles, while Washington is also the
name given to the US capital in reference to the character. Moreover, it is possible to
measure " washington dc " - and it represents less than 10% of the whole.
