Talk:List of the most common U.S. county names

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do we really want to list ALL the counties that share a name? I think it makes more sense just to do numbers to start with. And won't, say, Mercer County be named after Hugh Mercer in 90 percent of the cases, or Cherokee County be named after the Cherokee people in 90 percent of the cases? We can make notes in the odd cases... I just think listing ALL of the counties makes for an extremely long and unwieldly list--at least on the first pass. jengod 23:13, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
