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'

I met a Karen Power once.

Belafonte. I would to change my name to Franticbutterfly Belafonte.

If really like Davenport, so fancy!

I have an alliterative name and consequently like a cartoon character...

I quite fancy Pallister.

Used to know someone with the surname Sparrowhawk; that was pretty good.

I’ve known people called Rainbow and Snowball. I’d love those as surnames!

Dalziel - pronounced Dee ell

Ooh I want a new surname now

Summers, winter, breeze. Love all those sorts of names as surnames!

Gladhart or Freewoman or Newfields ?

I hate my married name and, rather than go back to my maiden name, would like to choose afresh as I am long separated & about to Divorce

DeWinter or Esterhazy. Less aristocratic: Conway, Harmon and O'Hara.

Out of.my friends Trevelyan and Livingstone.

Calhoun- very America sounding

Deoends on where you live too. Darling sounds lovely when pronounced Dar-ling but not so lovely as Dah-l'n.

Reynolds is nice and out of the names already suggested I like Cavendish.

Funny how names have such resonance though -
I wouldn't be Tremain as I know an unpleasant one.
Ditto Treadwell. I have liked 'Westminster' since I saw an interview with the (old) Duke when I was about 6 on TV and decided I wished he was MY Father (ishooos.. :)

I like O' names:

O'Neill
O'Leary
O'Malley

I also like Donnelly for some reason. My surname is pretty weird and the only people I know with it are relations of mine. I'm never getting married so I'm keeping it.

@OrangeLavenders I'm a Knight!
I hated my maiden name and was made up to change it.
I love my surname.

Summerfield

Makepeace

Kynaston
Pentecost
Parody (there’s a TV producer called Clare Parody and we always like spotting it in the credits!)
Quartermain
Boxx
Escreet
Barton
Nixon

I've always liked the names Jones

Definitely choose something from your family tree.

I like some of the ones mentioned already, especially Cavendish and Hamilton & will add Baxter to that pool.

Colquhoun
Pronounced cahoon

My friend had this surname and we did a summer working in Canada where everyone was fascinated by her name. I was quite jeous because mine back then was along the lines of Smith or Jones. So if ever I get to choose I'm going for Colquhoun

I knew a girl who married a Lilystone which I thought was lovely. I like Swan

I spoils go for Hewardine - I just like the way it sounds.

How about Windsor?

Allbright.

I know a L’strange

I know a Lydia L’strange. Great name.
