From a chat-thread in the Progressive Rock community on Amazon: “Check out RPWL, IQ, Kino, It Bites, Karmakanic to name of few.”
I’d never been aware of this one before but, surprisingly, googling “to name of few” yields almost 94,000 hits—so many that I think some percentage of the people I think are saying “to name a few” must be saying “to name OF few” instead.
I’m tempted to call it an eggcorn, though substituting “of” for “a” does not make for a very exciting one.
