Someone find me a surname

[Brunocatmon]

I want a new surname. I'm divorced and my exh said he doesn't want me using his name.
Thinking about it for a a couple of years I don't want to use it so I'd like a new one.
I'd like a Swedish surname and it has to start with a W as I have a personalised car number plate 🙈
Preferable 2 or 3 syllables and pronunciation would help.

I've googled and got some in my list.

Anyone got any fun suggestions?

Wilander -as in Mats Wilsnder the tennis player.

Wahlberg!

Waldorf is more German, but could potentially work as a kinda scandi vibe if you aren't 100% set on it being Swedish.

Wozniak

Walnut

Why limit yourself to your car number plate? You have a chance at a fresh start, you can pick any name you like. And then change your numberplate.

Wallsingham

Werner

What's wrong with your maiden name?

Woolworths?

Wahlström or Wahlstrom is a Swedish surname, which means "meadow by a stream".

I’d be tempted to keep the name just to annoy him and the next Mrs didsomeonesaydogs but I’m petty like that!

Wolf would be cool.

Meets none of your criteria but
'Bouchier De Croix Rois'.
From a memory of a book I read as a teen,.but can't find!

Ha! Yeah! Maybe add The First to the end!

Waterloo

I just google translated that, and it says it is Butcher/Slaughterer of the Rose Cross. Sounds much nicer in French so long as you don't know the meaning!

Some of these made me chuckle. Thank you.
I think W in Swedish is pronounced as a v isn't it?

Is this a reference to ABBA!? In which case, excellent! I think we have a (Eurovision) Winner!

Ooh, how about Winner, OP?

OP, OP, where art thou?!

X-post, ah, there you are!

err, it's your name not his.

I am changing mine and I don't care what he thinks tbh. I told his mother though and she looked sad.

I don't want to back to my maiden name as it means nothing to me. It was just the name that my mother happened to have when I was born.

I know! That's part of the cheesy plot, her sloaney wannabe ex bf changes his name 'butcher' to that. Is about a girl who goes to work in a publishing house in that there London... book was yellow...

Sloane is actually a lovely surname! Ooh, I like that!

Was it the Yellow Pages?

As you have a personalised plate, Wanker would work.

Well that's just another man's name isn't it...
