These are great! When I lived in San Francisco there was actually an entry in the phone book for Numba Wong which, of course, appeared as, Wong, Numba.

See Craig's great post on names with my looooong list in the comments over at GeneaBlogie:

Thomas, you must have lived in San Francisco in the early '80s, as I did. I remember that phone book entry; in fact, I had a photocopy of the page on my refrigerator.
