WHAT'S THE NAME?

If you think you have found the right name, Pause, Then Google it. Try it on your own name. When I first tried Googling my name I got 20 million hits. When I put it in quotes I felt a little better. There were only a few hindered thousand people with the name of Peter Thorne.

That's the tip of the iceberg. Consider the following. The Genealogy Tip of the Day posted the following:

"When You Get a New Name     Posted: 08 Apr 2019 06:35 PM PDT     When you discover a new last name in your ancestry, ask yourself: how else could this name be pronounced other than the “way” I’ve already assigned to it in my head; what letters in this name could be read incorrectly by someone making an index; what letters in this name often look like other letters; how common is this name in the area where I’m searching; does the name provide any clues as to origin or ethnicity of this person; what have I assumed about this name that might not be true?"
