And, no, no, no, no, no, no, do not do the Jones thing! Welsh surnames within Wales are simply beyond common. This is out of date, but it'll still be a reasonable guide:
* Smith is the most common surname in England. It accounts for 1.37% of all English surnames.
* Jones is the most common surname in Wales. It accounts for 13.84% of all Welsh surnames. (The ten most common Welsh surnames account for over 55% of the population. In England, the 10 most common surnames account for 5.15% of the population.)
Er. Sorry. Not that I want to stand in the way of cracky fic for fandoms I don't even belong to. *cough* I just know about how common Welsh surnames are (mostly due to family history stuffs, which is where I got that info from. Welsh family history is really tough). *looks innocent*
