Combinatorics problem? Below what minimum threshold of prevalence is a male line of descent likely to be terminally interrupted? Just need one all-girl or childless generation to break a last name thread. Break enough threads, last name goes extinct.

Random thought: isn't it interesting how many of the famous English/early American surnames are basically extinct now? Does anyone know a modern day Lincoln, Roosevelt, Darwin, Newton, etc?
