[Dani2206]

I really have wanted to change my last name for over 25 yrs ! Hated it at school and cringe when in called in docs etc !
Its the last tie to my father who iv cut out of my life as hes a wanker for numerous of reasons! Anyway any suggestions would be great' my first name is Danielle and i want something cool unusual !

I always wanted the surname Penhaligon

O Donell ?

Something starting with D? Seeing as you posted in S&B, Dior or Dolce?

@bossybloss 😂😂love it!!!

Montague
Sinclair

or something lovely and Italian sounding.....

Deveaux

Danielle Darling

Radcliffe

Craig

Day-Lewis
De Vito

Such a cool idea ! Ty

Thanks all
I quite liked Phoenix( for the whole meaning behind it) and thought of love
I suppose im jus worried incase it sounds silly

Devine , Diamond

Maybe not Lloyd or Steel.

How about an Old English surname?

Mayberry or Luxford

Look at a Jilly Cooper for inspiration!

Who is your fave author / actor / other person you admire?

Something beginning with D and three syllables - Davidson, Dangerfield, Delaney, Devereaux... I love alliterative names :)

or, as you have a French first name, something with a 'de' prefix Woolf sound very glamorous - de Beauvoir, de Forest, de Montfort, de Villiers

Sorry that was meant to say 'would', not Woolf!

Surname from your mother's side, like your maternal grandmother's maiden name.
Name from a place you've visited that you really liked - river name or village name
Surname from a favourite novel.
Surname that is a favourite first name of yours (Harper, Hudson, Casey, Charles, Vincent etc)

Woolf

Any names you like on your mother's side?

Wren, Marlowe, Hadley, Reay/Rae, May, Grace,
Dalton, Dennis, George, Jenson, Cooper

Edited to save adding lots of messages.

What was your mothers name before she got married?

Steal

Loads of meaning behind that and it sounds good.
