I too have a very rare last name. It doesn't even register in forebears.io (just using the simple search bar).
Having to explain it's "sleep without one 'e'" and instruct people how to pronounce it every time is something that got annoying, but am used to it now.
On the flip side, it's very easy to pick out relatives in a sea of names.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoI've got a last name with about 900 people on forebears, the problem with mine though is that there are three groups(maybe families? I'm not sure) who all pronounce it differently(I happen to be in the least common basket). Correcting people on the pronounciation has been heavily ingrained in me but every once in a while I run into someone who is quite certain I'm saying my name incorrectly. Grar! Sidenote, how do you say slep?
- khedoros1 9y agoIf it is "Slep", Forebears shows ~68 people with that surname. The big searchbar on the front page of that site is a location search. Of course, I'm assuming that you aren't just using "Slep" as a similar example.
