Close to Brown?
I think that's it. The letters that need to be changed to spell brown are the first N and a w in place of the e.Quote:

6,731,736th most common means there are 6,731,735 names more common than that, doesn't it?

"6,731,736th Most Common Surname in the World"

Are you saying Smith still has a chance?
I'm guessing there's a Chinese or Indian name on top? Maybe? I don't know. Maybe it is Smith.
