Check Out This List Of The Top 10 Last Names In Midland-Odessa
What's in a name? How often do you meet someone new and discover you have the same last name but do not know the same people and are not related? It probably happens at least once a week. Why? Because there are so many common names in this world. I will never forget the day I met Rebecca Cruz. It was a chance meeting between a mutual friend; in this case, our first and last names were exactly the same!
She did not hesitate to inform me that she is the OG Rebecca Cruz and I am just an imposter. lol But truly when you think about it, there are so many people in Midland-Odessa who share the same last name it is unreal.
