My maiden name. Kind of regret changing it sometimes - no reflection in my husband I hasten to add!

I know someone who has the surname Human. I always wonder who they are trying to convince, but guess it is useful in case you forget.

CuntTrollingRs · 17/06/2016 19:36

It

As in how do you spell it?

Okay377 · 17/06/2016 19:37

Gold or Silver. Or maybe Bronze.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 17/06/2016 19:38

Waterfall or lovejoy

I saw a surname I liked the other day. Kilpatrick. thought it was quite cool

Patterkiller · 17/06/2016 19:40

La Roche Posay

SavoyCabbage · 17/06/2016 19:40

Puffin
D'Chanel (Sunset Beach)
Or Brown so dh and I could be Mr Brown and Mrs Brown like on National Velvet.

reup · 17/06/2016 19:41

Austen or Eyre. Either would go with my first name and entertain me every time I said it.

I met a Mrs Ferrari last week, and she lived up to the name, really glam and sexy. I'd quite like to be a Mrs Ferrari.

Wolfe

McAully

There was a guy at my college who had this surname and I always thought it was cool. And goes brilliantly with my first name Smile

GinnyMcginface · 17/06/2016 19:48

My surname is Christmas....in December I would happily swap it, for anything!!

Nannawifeofbaldr · 17/06/2016 19:48

When I was a little girl I always loved the name Carmichael (no idea why).

It wouldn't go with my first name though so I'd need to change it too...Smile

Witchend · 17/06/2016 19:50

Aaaaaaaaa.
I want to be at the top of the phone book.

ImSoVeryTired · 17/06/2016 19:50

I always meant to change mine after I divorced but all the ones I liked sounded too pretentious or people pointed out problems with them. I liked Blackthorn, then someone pointed out that it made them think of the cider!
I know someone called Lovegrove which is kinda cool. One of my ancestors surnames was Delicate, which I also liked but I feel too clumsy to adopt.

My mums doctors surgery has a Dr Cockshot which is fantastic. There's also a doctor at another surgery called Dr Knobloch.

Pahaha.

TheDuchessOfArbroathsHat · 17/06/2016 19:52

Cholmondley-Warner - I like the way it rolls off the tongue and it's not quite absurd enough to stretch credibility. Unlike Thighthumper-Leakebutt or (courtesy of Blackadder) Strangely-Brown Grin

uniquehornsonly · 17/06/2016 19:53

Peverell. It's fun to say and there's always the Walter Scott connotation.

Or

Macateer. I've always liked that name since I found out it means "son of a nun"!

CowVersusMouse · 17/06/2016 19:54

Knoblauch means garlic. But it's nice and rude sounding.

Wankhand would be great. Are children called Handcock very teased nowadays? They should be.

I love Christmas! And Valentine.
