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?

Darling, you're looking remarkably intelligent today. Did you get a new pen?!

Wilde
Wolfe
Fox

I did change my surname from something that had too many double letters to my mother's maiden name. You'd be surprised how many people seem to think that a 'm' is actually an 'rr i'. Including a slightly miffed nurse un a hospital waiting room who wanted to know why I wasnt answering when she called my name.

I was about to type Saxe-Coburg.
Does come with its privileges, still, no doubt.

Or Lennon.

There's quite a few i would like such as Fox, Rose, Walker but then I try them with my first name and they jar. I want an easy to spell name as I've had to spell my surname (and first AND middle) since I was four years old. Got married and still have to spell the surname out grrrrr. Now in the process of divorce and even going back up my maternal line there is only one that doesn't need spelling/jarring. And that is Jones 🙄

Cholmondeley-Featherstonehaugh.

Just to see whether anyone can spell what sounds like 'Chumley-Fanshaw'.😁

Midwinter

Gallagher

Something well known that people can pronounce and spell. I’d be quite happy with Smith, Jones, Williams type names.

Chatterley. Any Gamekeepers out there?

Faulkner.

Dragonetti - I just think it’s such a cool name!

I've always rather liked the name Savage.

Delacroix!

Or Wilder, Belacqua, Woolf, Picasso, Cézanne...

I’d love to have Lewis or Williams or Evans

Van Zanten
I like names with Van

also love Alexander as a surname

Omg makepeace I love it, I’ll be Dempsey

My grandmother's maiden name was Swann, which I've always thought was beautiful, so I'd go for that I think.

Pendragon, sounds kind of majestic and mysterious.

Either that or Smith, Jones, Miller… because I’d love a name I don’t need to spell out!

Not Mountbatten-Windsor

I have friends with great surnames
Mercury
Starcross
Franklin
Eden
Ironhill
Christmas

Id pick starcross!

My married name is Brown and I hate it! So bland. My maiden name is a nice Irish name.

I really like Pendragon and Penhaligon, mentioned upthread. I also quite like Meredith.

I LOVE the name Lana Del Ray so it would’ve be something with that sort of ‘vibe’

I saw a works van this week with that very name !
