Bulbiak - just because this is very rare surname, supposedly only 11 people in Poland have it. All of them are from my city.

Maybe. Many Pontic Greek surnames end in -idis.

I forgot that my Grandmother's surname is Kięcka - she's the only person in Poland with it but this is just because they made a literal error in her birth certificate (her real one would be Kęcka).
