After the tabulation of results, it was found that the Republic of Northwest's citizens had chosen 760 surnames in the first round, of which many were special. However, the repetition in counts was very serious. It was ascertained that a second round was needed, and this time, those who re-decided their surname was about 150,000. Furthermore, these had already been recorded, and there were about 624 surnames that could not be repeated by other families.
Within the surnames which had been used about two hundred times, most commonly found would be place names and careers, such as "East,""West,""North,""South,""Wood,""Carpenter,""Muller,""Blacksmith," and so on. It was clear that if one wanted to use these names but weren't able to be the first two hundred, they would have to rack their brains for another surname.
