What is the most beautiful surname you have heard?

[ZiggZagg]

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?

I'm a genealogist. I've come across Moonlight, Hailstones and Snowball.

I once knew a Pc Snowball

I knew a Noel Christmas - a bit OTT I think

I know some Christmases but with non festive surnames

I always think De Silva is a really pretty surname.

My first name is Nicola and I think it goes together really well. I’ve actually toyed with changing it from time to time.

Non festive first names even

Talking with a neighbour about family. She had gone to the area where her mother’s family was from. My dear neighbour said that her grandmother had been a Squirrel! I love that, I wouldn’t mind being a Squirrel.

I like Proverbs, Flowers, Bird, Fox

Willoughby

Honeybun. I saw that on a gravestone in Cambridge and thought it was very unusual.

I have a friend called Cecilia Waterfall, I think that is lovely.

I knew a Mrs Innocent and also Hasty, Smart, Quick, and Careless. The latter took great pains to make sure that no-one could say, "Careless by name Careless by nature" as he was very diligent.

Tremain.
At school we had an Eftyhiou, Armenian, I think. We loved it when a teacher asked him his name....

Lavender

I know of a young girl called Katie Lavender

@rosetylersbiggun my husband worked with a doctor with that surname!

Clutterbuck.

I have a friend with the surname Sherlock and I was always envious of her cool name. Then she married and became a Doody. Why would you do that to yourself!

DD was at school with a Rosie Tidmarsh, I just love that so much

I know a family of Darlings. All their names sound lovely.

Fairy. I knew a Lottie Fairy

De Laurentis

(Italian)

I have Love in my ancestry, her maiden name was Grimwood so a definite improvement.

@LincolnshireLassInLondon

I had a lovely art teacher called Mrs Wish. I think that's a beautiful surname.

I think we went to the same school, @LincolnshireLassInLondon , if your username gives an indication of geography?

I found a Dr. McCatty in my family research. Makes me imagine a character in a Cats musical. Also found a little boy named Wee Wee Kelly .

My GP is called Dr Love
