What is the most beautiful surname you have heard?

I've been researching my family tree and there are a lot of surnames, mostly usual Irish, Scottish but some interesting ones and it got me thinking about surnames in general.

I always thought Italian surnames are very beautiful, Baccino, Santangelli.

I love ones that are simple such as Flower, Beach and Ocean too.

So, what's the most beautiful one you have ever heard?

Lavender
One of my mother's best friends married Frederick Lavender.

Her name was Rose.

I like one of the names in my family tree - Jack Boncoeur. I imagine that it was Bonne Coeur originally (Good Heart). What a nice name to give somebody 'Oh, that's Jack/Jacques. Really great bloke. Honest, trustworthy, decent chap.'

Yes me too!!! Also ‘Christmas’ and ‘Kynaston’. Apologies in advance, but personally would absolutely hate to be called ‘Slaughter’ (which is actually olde English for mud apparently) or anything ‘Grim...’ Grimwood, Grimshaw, Grimsdale...
