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

[QueenE27]

????

I was saddled with a double barreled name so now I like
Castis

Mandatory my husband works with a consultant called Mr De'Ath. True!

I've always fancied being a Fox.

Wilde.
I don't mind mine though, a lot of people say they quite like it.

Golightly as in Holly Golightly!

McNamara

No idea why I like it so much. I worked with a lady who had this surname and straight away wished it were mine! Still love it 10 years on.

Claiborne, as in Dolores Claiborne

Aiken/aicken, don't know why but just like the sound of it!

Gillespie
Winstanley

Somebody said Carmichael up thread and I think we have the same taste in sur names. Who knew that was a thing that other people had thought of!

O'Neil

I remember asking my mum when I was a little girl if I could change my name to O'Neil!

Or Valentine

Bikerunski, I love Costello too. Not as much but I like Kinsella as well.
And Valentine.

Lascelles or Lathangie Scottish and posh

Cholmondley-Warner Yes so many funny sketches.

Thunderpants😬

Fox
Dove
Sweet
Rose

I like Fox, McNamara, McEnroe

D'eath

Kardashian.

I really have absolute zero interest in them or their shows, and I'd only want the name if they didnt exist weren't famous, but I do love how that name sounds. Kaaaarrr-DASHHH-eeaaaaan, fab.

Or Shakespeare.

I actually changed my name to my chosen surname a few years ago. Best thing I ever did, I'm always getting compliments and LOVE giving my name over the phone, in restaurants etc.!

Other than that though, for some reason I've always loved the name Lennox.

MacNamara
Wolfe
O'Neill

Vanderbilt

I LOVE my surname which makes up for my loathing of my first name. In fact I love it so much I've already told dp that when we get married I'm keeping it, or double barrelling it.

I love colours for surnames though. I knew someone whose surname was Scarlett, loved it!

Black
La Roux
De Havilland

Freely

Then I'd change my first names to Iris Penelope.

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

Macateer, McAteer, McAtee, or any other anglicised phonetic spelling such as McIntyre, is not based on a surname meaning 'son of a nun'.

It is from the surname Mac an t-Saoir. Son of a carpenter.

If you're keen on being the sprog of a religious of some sort; Taggart, MacTaggart etc are phonetic anglicisations of Mac an t-Sagairt. Son of a priest.
