I know a family called Dove, which I love

And my favourite, just beautiful, Sparrowhawk!

I personally know people with some of the surnames mentioned here. I didn't realise they were particularly unusual. That's force of habit for you, I guess.

The first two were doctors which made it even better. Dr Divine and Dr Aristotle 😂

Oh and there's an Arrowsmith in DP family line. Very bitter he ended up with the one he did instead 😂
