Interesting, but it leaves off the single most common Jewish name in the USA (until recently as Germanic/Polish names began to predominate): Smith.

In fairness, it does mention “trade names” and “Schmidt” in particular, but this oversight makes me question the lot.

Miller and Cooper should also be on the list.
