It suggests people who you have mutual friends with, live near and share the same last name with.

Well we have different last names and i don't have any friends yet since i just signed up, so it's very strange.

Then it's probably the location you put. Maybe it got them from your email address.

Facebook has obviously developed it's own AI which is planning to destory humanity! It clearly wants to make everyone suffer by offing their family members first to get them worried! It's like a more evil version of Skynet!!!

They might have tried to add you to facebook via email before you had a facebook account, when I set up my facebook I was confused because it suggested a bunch of my friends, but it's because some of my friends have tried to add me via email, also the friends of the people who added me show up. So it was really accurate when suggesting friends.
