What's your favourite surname?

[OrangeLavenders]

I'm divorcing DH soon and hoping to just change my name to something I like. I've been saddled with his since the age of 18

What's your favourite surname? I think I might go with 'Knight'

@CompleteBarstool

I've always liked the way Penhaligon or Houlihan roll off the tongue.

Or the surname of a character from a book I read as a child ....Gotobed

Are you thinking of Carrie's War? Such a lovely book.

Rose is a lovely last name. Easy to spell too.
I love Fox too.

Tempest
Appleyard

I loathe my surname, and always have. I quite fancy Starbuck or Winterhalter.

Greenfield or something linked to nature for me

Or Cavendish would also be lovely.

My maiden name was long and cumbersome so I vowed I would only date men with surnames of five letters or less. As it happened I did. Unfortunately one of them was Pratt.
Long names that you have to spell out are a pain. Especially when people think they know better and leave a letter out.

I always wanted to be a Grosvenor

For some reason I think Clutterbuck is awesome. Although it does sound a little like cluster-fuck

A school friend’s surname was Peace which I always thought was cool

There was a woman on the news last week and her surname was Debonnaire. Sounds lovely.

DeNiro

Sullivan

I like Fairfax plus another vote for Cavendish.

Depends what your first name is really.

Bloom

When I was younger I always wanted a simple surname like Smith or Jones. Mine needed spelling every time 🙄

I knew a lady with surname Bliss. When she married her husband took her surname so they are Mr and Mrs Bliss which I think is lovely.

Kingsley

I love Fitzpatrick or Fitzgerald. Cavendish and Elliot are great too. I also like Kennedy.

Hamilton. I think it's classy.
Good luck finding your new name!

Quish. Only ever heard it once and I love it. Ms Quish, what's not to like?

Winter.

Ooo Fitzwilliam or Willoughby

Speedwell.

Carter or Summers

There was a family in he village where I grew up whose name was Goodenough. I quite like that.

@Wolfgirrl

I once read on MN somebody had seen a headstones where the person's surname was Flowerbuttons. Imagine being Mrs Flowerbuttons!

Recently I noticed the art director on a period drama I was watching has the surname Honeybun. I think that's my new favourite.
