Just for fun, if you were to change your surname...

[SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter]

What would it be to? I quite like 'Makepeace'. I knew a girl at school whose last name was 'Honeychurch', which is pretty. What would you go for?

I met a Mr Longcake once. I’d go for that!

I went to school with a girl whose surname was makepeace!
I would choose something really plain, like Roberts or Smith, my name is such a mouthful I really don’t like it, or having to always spell it.

Valentine or Wilde

Smith too, or Fletcher or Brown or similar

Bon Jovi. Mrs. Obviously

Loveday.

My first and middle name begin with L though so it might all be a bit too much!

I live in Denmark and Fuglsang is a name I've seen sometimes. It means birdsong!

Growing up we watched a lot of ice hockey, and I loved all the exciting sounding names. So probably Lemieux (which always sounded so fancy to me) or Messier

Ooh - I like Wilde, but it would annoy me to have to add, 'with a E' every time.

For some reason I always fancied something vaguely foreign but easy to say and spell. Romanov or LeBlanc or O'Brien.

I was a very boring Smith (maiden name) and then married a man with an equally dull name. (Think Jones)

Beauregard, or maybe Plumtree. I met a Ms Plumtree once through work.

I went to school with a boy who’s surname was Ferrari i always thought that would be a good name!

Kennedy

I did change my surname and my first! Went for a flower name for my surname.

Minogue, I always thought Kylie and Danni had such pretty full names.

One everyone could spell easily, maybe a month like March or May.

Before marriage I constantly had to spell my surname and I would have to get in quick before they started writing or typing because they would guess the first letter incorrectly and then it would confuse them when I spelled it out.

I was glad Dh had an easier name so I changed it to his on marriage. At school there was a Valentine, a Love, and a Honeychurch which I liked the most.

I did change mine!

If I changed it again I'd go for something short and easy, Wren maybe.

Fortesque

Lovejoy.

Gotobed. It's very me.

I changed mine, and although it is long and I sometimes have to spell it out (I did with the original one, and that was only six letters long...), I don't regret it one bit! To me, it is beautiful!

I considered Harper, but the other won out in the end. Other local surnames that sounded cheery and interesting included Snowball, Pickersgill, Valentine, Berry and Fox!

If i hadn't already chosen Gotobed then it'd be Featherstonehaugh (pronounced Fanshaw, if you've not come across it before). I could double-barrel, i suppose.

Shakespeare

Macbeth

Lake

De Winter

Plantagenet

I’d have to fight the urge to choose Dragon

Came to say this, I've always loved that name but my first name also starts with an L so it would be very twee 🤣
