To ask if you could have any surname what would you choose?

[QueenE27]

????

Fitzpatrick.

Or Tattersall.

Holdsworth

Anything that was easy to spell, or at least if there was more than one version I'd have the most common version. I've had two surnames people can't spell - one because everyone thought it was spelt a much more common way, one because it's genuinely unusual and a bit complicated.

Lovejoy or Rainbow.

Naice-Ham

Ruonglue

Storm.

Could have been if MIL hadn't changed her name.

I was a Smith, I took my husbands Arabic surname. I love it, it means 'Distinguished or Exquisite' in his language. It also means people think I'm Middle Eastern and get a surprise when they see a auburn haired, pale and freckled white woman if they've not seen my first name.

If I could have any name I'd be a Rainbow, I have a friend who is one. I was always jealous when growing up as Smith was sooooo boring when I was a teen.

My great grandfather was Lasseray, I want this name! I think it's cool and elegant.

But I like mine too. You can pretty much pinpoint half my ancestry to a few thousand miles' radius with it.

Pink I wanted to be Lovejoy when I was a teenager! Lovejoy-Makepeace I think it was

Bucket / Bouquet.

Have always loved the name Trescothick, don't have a clue why though!

Ohh, my soon to be surname has actually come up which is funny as I'm not too keen as I would be the second person to marry into the family giving us exact names!

I know someone called Tony Handcock. He always had people call him toe knee hand cock and they would point to each body part as they said it

Midwinter or Attwood.

Delacroix

I knew a girl at school wit h the surname "Summerbell" can you imagine having such a lovely surname (she was bleeding awful though, horrible mean girl!)

Callaghan - so, so cool.

Champerknowne or Throckmorton, lovely old surnames.

Shakespeare.

Gillespie

I have always loved it

Constant

Pendragon or Joplin.

Someone I knew at college had the surname Bytheway. I love it, and it had me in stitches when they first introduced themselves to me, I just didn't get that Bytheway was their last name, just thought it was this phrase they insisted on repeating.

Hermione has stolen mine - I was threatening to change my name to that a few years ago.

I also like De'Ath, for how it pretends it doesn't say death.

Banana-hammock
