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 like nature names and know or know of people with these:

Flowerdew
Peartree
Nightingale
Fallowfield

My exes best mate had the surname Divine and I always loved it

Go with Darling

Kennedy
Regan
Tremaine
March

Fox

MacKenzie

@Sallyspoons

Carrington or Colby, embrace your inner Joan

Love it 🤣

A friend of mine divorced recently & is keeping her married name as she likes it - & that name is Knight!

I've always fancied a Cornish name, especially those beginning with Tre or Pen. I think I'd be a Trevelyan or a Pencavel.

Prendergast cos somehow it sounds really old and like a dragon name :) and Moriarty cos it’s a real surname!

@Goyle - another vote for Hamilton. Easy to spell and as it's two syllables,
lots of names will go well with it. I like the vowel sounds - light and upbeat rather than dreary!

Another one I like is Arundel

Brodie or Abagnale

Current surname is my third one (birth/adopted/married) and I've never truly had one that I feel fits.

Another vote for Mackenzie (if there's an a it's a small k! Capitals should only be used if the name is Mc... IIRC)

Also:
Janeway
Picard
Archer
Sisco
Kirk
Pike
Riker
Troi

I love the Icelandic naming convention so could you do your Mum's name plus dottir?

Munroe a nice warm surname

Starr. I've known a few Starrs and they've all been as lovely as their name.

Love Fox!

Dashwood
Darling
Blue

I'd love to be a
Fox.
Or Travarthan/ Trevelyn.
St John
Nightingale.

My surname is ok but unusual and often mispronounced. Stupidly gave the dc their dad's surname which is awful, but they now know themselves as it and don't want to change. Will double barrel it to water it down but can't get rid of it. Could kick myself for not changing it sooner.

Names I like that I know - Waterfall, Darling, Oakley,

King or Best

De Winter

Penhaligon - great one!
For me

1. Anstruther-Treveligan
2. Thistlethwaite
3. Anderson

4.Mc something

My married name is boring and my maiden name is AWFUL

Hambleton or Pembleton

@SciFiScream YES Janeway would be an amazing surname "there s the right way, the wrong way and the Janeway"

I quite like Spencer... Lady Spencer! Sounds faaancy

How are you saying 'Anstruther' jame, phoneticslly or Ainster?
