No real reason why!

I've always loved McQueen and Fairbanks.

Love Wilde. Wilder too.

I know a Farquhar. It's got a bit of gravitas.

Falke

My absolute favourite though is my married name.

80sMum · 14/07/2018 22:45

Bazalgette is a bit of a head turner!

RedDwarves · 14/07/2018 22:45

I think Fortescues must all have aristocratic ties.

Christmas, I’d have loved to be Mrs Christmas. Sadly ‘‘twas not meant to be!

MIL maiden name was Storm. Me and my SILs all wish that she’d passed that name onto her boys!

My boss is a mr and Mrs 💕love

Gilchrist. Don't know why, but used to imagine that was my surname during a period in my teens where I would live a fantasy adventure life.

JaneJeffer · 14/07/2018 22:49

Kinsella

OutyMcOutson · 14/07/2018 22:50

Golightly. I was a Golightly (did deed poll many moons ago) until we got married and we merged our names. DH wasn't really a Golightly, and I wasn't really a HisSurname, so we took a bit from one and a bit from the other and created a new name. That is now my favourite name, because it so cool! Grin

AdelaideK · 14/07/2018 22:51

Miller is a nice sounding name.

Frogscotch7 · 14/07/2018 22:53

My friend married a Mr Hawthorne. It’s a lovely name.

AlphaBravo · 14/07/2018 22:54

Storm would be a fabulous surname. I know a girl called Raine.

Killerqueen2244 · 14/07/2018 22:55

One of my husband’s customer’s surname is Woof. I love it, makes me smile every time I see it!!!

NakedBrainStrollingInManhatten · 14/07/2018 22:55

@roses2 May I ask where you live? In my town there seems to be an abundance of Loves.

AlphaBravo · 14/07/2018 22:55

I know a French, Welsh, English and an Ireland. Two married. Welsh wasnt very happy to change to English, not surprisingly.

JobHunting4 · 14/07/2018 22:56

McNif. Love it

GoldenBuns · 14/07/2018 22:59

Thorneycroft

I know someone with the sirname Bytheway. Pronounced 'by the way' - apparently an old travellers name. I love the logic of it.
