Names

The New York Times has a list where you can search for your last name from among the top 500 surnames in America. The big news is the growth of Hispanic names. Although I saw some names that I've known Jewish people to have, the highest ranking name that I think "sounds" Jewish is Jacobs, which is #233. Zimmerman and Klein are in the mid-330's. I didn't look for any more.
