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?

Our youngest was at school with Charlie Christmas

My Maiden name was a very traditional Irish name, my married name is Christian and I love it! I just wish his bloody ex-wife would drop it.....

Rainbow
Godbehere
Gotobed

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

We bought our first house from a Mr and Mrs Wildgoose.

Ooh, Baccino, che bello!

In my family tree
Buchanan
DeVote
Fernie

Fairbairn - was my DGMs maiden name and I often wish she’d kept it!

Mr Bon Voonala

@Oneeyeopen

When my dm was a midwife there was a Krystle O'Driscoll and a Jellian Coustard.

Jellian Coustard is a top name!

I know a Mrs Lovegrove, which I always think sounds classy and friendly.

I always love birdy surnames: Nightingale, Peacock, Swan, Partridge, Sparrow.

Knew a girl with the surname Rosenbriar.

@BatleyTownswomensGuild

I always love birdy surnames: Nightingale, Peacock, Swan, Partridge, Sparrow.

I knew a Drew Peacock which always seemed a bit unfortunate.

Once saw a name of a hotelier Valerie Shakeshaft

D'Angelo is nice.

I know a family of Lucks and a De’ath.

We have a Holyday in our family which I like, and I know a Dreamer and a Free. Moving on from surnames, I regularly exchange emails and work calls with a chap with the first name Santa. That always makes my day. I can’t quite place his accent so don’t know which country it hails from.

Like a PP I dropped my maiden name to take my DH’s lovely and much-complimented surname. SIL’s first husband did the same and, despite only being married a few years, having no children together and being many years since divorcing, he still uses it!

Surnames that aren’t so brilliant: a childhood dentist called Mr Screech and a PSHE teacher called Mr Fagg.

I was taught by a Miss Nazareth - no prizes for guessing what her subject was.....

Also know someone with the surname Hunnybun which is fabulous and my sister was at school with a Lucy Lavender which is beautiful.

@BikeRunSki - DH knows someone called Hamish Patel which I love. My children also have very mixed cultural names but not as great as that.

I used to know someone who’s surname was Sparrowhawk. Also a Mr Duck; I really coveted his name.

A teacher at my nieces school is called Mrs Tickle.

@TroysMammy

Truelove

There is someone with this surname at the insurance broker company we use and as it’s a small company we tend to hear from the same person each year. Our house insurance renews on Valentine’s Day so it always seems quite fitting

I really like Moriarty

Previous bf was a Moriarty. I always liked the name.

@TawnyPippit

I know someone called “Rainbird”, which I think is very cool

I taught a girl with this surname and one kid called her 'Jane Wet Pigeon' one day in a fit of pique. Taught another kid with the surname Colgate. The kids called him toothpaste.

There's an actress called Moon Bloodgood, I quite like that.

Her father is Shell Bloodgood.
