SINGHS and Smiths are dominating the streets, having been listed as the two most popular names in and around Cranbourne.
Phone directory publisher Sensis released the top 20 most common surnames to coincide with the release of the 2009-10 Melbourne White Pages directories.
The third hottest name in the area is Taylor, ahead of Williams, and fifth most popular was Wilson. Brown took the sixth position, Jones was seventh, and Fernando was eighth. Ninth place was Perera, and slipping in at number 10 were Johnson, Edwards, Martin and Nguyen.
The White Pages directories will be delivered to all people living throughout Melbourne and its outskirts over the next five to seven weeks.
The front covers feature two well-respected Melbourne musicians, Jonathon Welch and Nicky Bombal.
