Not ranked. In the early'70s there were 27 with my sir name in the Sears credit data base. I knew 19 of them. Oh! Polish sir name btw.

558.

I started making up words and was still getting hits, like Dort and Bort. Maybe there is something to those Bort license plates.

13613.

too bad they didn't have a regional breakdown. I know my last name is popular in canada and along border states like NH and Maine, but I can't see it being all that popular anywhere else.
