Surname for new book

Please help, I'm currently writing a book with two sisters in it. One is called Violet and the other Tilly. Please help me come up with a surname for them. Same surname for both girls please. I'd like something quite cool, at the minute I've come up with Lux. Thoughts on Lux and surname suggestions very welcome. Thanks so much in advance!

Bodhi? From Point Break? No!

Smith?
Jones?
Robertson?

Just to put some "ordinary" names in there.

(Although I love Ingrate-Scribe - that's brilliant Grin)

I also think the names sound very early 20th century.

Violet and Tilly were definitely names that granny would have had when I was a kid in the 60s/70s.

Violet and Tilly are v popular names amongst my dc's peers (primary school age).

Yes I agree lots of old fashioned names are now in. I know plenty of small children called Tilly and Violet

Well, I haven't come across any Violets or Tillys in recent decades but that may just be because they aren't particularly popular names in rural Scotland Grin
