What is its ethnic heritage? Have you visited there? Do you have relatives there? You can see how just your last name can kick start a whole string of questions that can lead on to more interesting topics.
I'll admit to practicing a PNM's name if I knew she was coming in that round. You never want to be the one who butchers it.

And yes, it's a welcomed break from all the Katies, Brittanys, and Jessicas.

My fave was when you were like "which Katie?" and someone answers "you know, the one with the blonde hair." That really narrows it down.
