If you could chose a new surname what would you go for?

[Thelionsarecoming]

I need a new one.

No contact with family so I don’t want to go back to my maiden name. Divorced from husband and he is getting remarried so I don’t want his name either.

I don’t know where to start with looking for a new one.

My mother’s maiden name is awful and so is her mothers!

another vote for Smith.
Anonymity guaranteed.

I’m going to use my middle name if I’m ever in that situation (have thought about it).

It’s a unisex name that is also a reasonably common surname.

Forbes.

Phillipson-Masters. A double-barreled name is frightfully fancy. Forbes Phillipson-Masters played for Southampton FC in the 1970s.

Greenwood, Holloway or Simenon.

Littlejohn-banahamock

Macgillicuddy or cheddar

I've always wanted to be a Merryweather. I even tried to convince DH to adopt it, when we got married, so we could have our own family name, but he wasn't convinced.

I know a lady with the surname Starflinger. Apparently it's German. I think it's fabulous

I like Meadows

My maiden name has been mentioned. Weird as it’s rare. My married name now is even more unique (and makes people laugh!)

Halliday. Big fan of PG Wodehouse.

Darling would be a nice surname I think.

Appleton and Fox would go great with my name and I love them both

Also:
McNamara
McAllister
Mcilroy

A friend of my parents was in a situation where she was making new beginnings and she chose 'New'.

MacKenzie

Just because I like it.

Tear - for the reasons why.

Like a lot of those mentioned

I like

Lane

King

Robinson

Winter or Spring

Fletcher

Name surnames such as Peters, Richards or Roberts

My name needs spelling as did my maiden name

I think I'd go for something like Winter. I'd want to change my first name as well as I don't like it.

Appleton
Motion
Tressilian
Galadriel

I can't change my name... so it's just as well i quite like it, so I've never really thought about a new one but on the lines of
"Or go Icelandic stick dottir at the end of any chaps Christian name you like."
Franklin because my beloved Dad was called Frank, it's a lot closer to the beginning of the alphabet than my name and most people should be able to spell it.
Could you take either your Mum or your Dad's first name as a starting point?

In the realms of fantasy like a PP I could fancy an Italian surname, but the Italian fella I dated was called Piazzi, and a friend married a Bezzi.
Through association with a special place I'd choose Sant'Albano.

Actually I might go for Rainbow.

I know someone with this surname in RL and am envious!

I'd love an Eastern European or Polish surname even though I'm from a different culture! My old neighbours were Mr & Mrs. Baranski, just love surnames ending with ski.

King
Fox
Snow

I once knew someone called Rainbird. Had forgotten until you said Rainbow. Wren would be nice or Dove. Oak, Hazel, Hollyberry, Truelove.
