When taking surveys of populations it's always best to have as large of a survey base as possible. For example, if you are trying to find what the most popular names in the US are, you will get far more accurate data with a survey pool as large as the US census then just asking random people walking thru Chicago or just people staying in hotels or an even smaller pool, just people in the lobbies in Chicago hotels.

Here, taken from the 1990 US Census Bureau, are the fifty most common
surnames, plus the 25 most common male and female names, for people
