To ask you for your favourite surnames?

[RedDwarves]

No real reason why!

I've always loved McQueen and Fairbanks.

Savage

Fairbairn

King

Dufresne

My surname is on here too
I also like Pevensie (from narnia)

McNamara is one of the best surnames ever.

Mine is a boring American name. It's quite easy to spell and say but everyone manages to get it wrong.

I used to know someone with the surname Godbehere. Ive always thought it was really unusual and ive never met anyone else with the same name since.

‘Truth’, as in the women’s rights activist, Sojourner Truth. The coolest name ever.

Years ago I worked in a call centre QVC and received a call from a "Captain Bastard" and I didn't know how to address him!

He was frightfully posh and sounded very jolly and said " dear girl, I will pronounce my surname for you as it's often said wrong- I'm Captain bstard " which sounds totally different to Captain Bastard.

Also had a regular caller Mrs O'nion who once came through to me with a complaint that another staff member had called her "Mrs Onion"

Not names that I like but unusual ones I have seen lately include a Dr. Flowerbloom and a Mr. Pornstaub

Featherstonehaugh

I worked with someone with this surname. I always imagined it would be a pain to keep spelling out over the phone. My maiden name has been mentioned. My married name is very Scottish and strangely enough anywhere we visit in the world people pronounce it properly but at home it's a different story, same with the spelling.

Davenport. I know it’s a sofa but it sounds nice and I used to fancy Jack Davenport in This Life

Years ago we had a client called Mr Bucket and he was constantly telling people it was pronounced bouquet

When I was a child and read the Sweet Valley High books I loved the surname Wakefield like the twins in the book.
I named my dd Jessica but sadly our surname is not Wakefield.

Wilde, Fox, Cartwright, Wolfe.

I know someone with the surname de la croix which I think is lovely.......they’re very English.

I've met a Mr Christmas through my previous job, I remember thinking how unusual! My favourite surname would be a really posh one I think.

I'm rather partial to the surname McAlpine also, but that might be because I know a rather fanciable fella with that name

I like my current surname, it's unusual, but would be outing to put on here.

Love
Fox
Valentine
Christmas

And I work with someone who's surname is Smiles

Two romantic ones from me:

Silverlight (such a pretty name!)

And

O'Faoláin (pronounced 'oh - fway-lawn. 'Faolain' is the word for seagull - always loved the idea of being 'of seagull'.

Peachy I love it
Also like names that are long as they sound posher like Ravenscroft or Hamilton etc

Henderson is my favourite surname ever.

There was someone at Uni called Nancy Tasker.
I thought that was an ACE name.
I never met her, just saw her name on boards and gazed in envy.

Blackadder

Know of someone who changed his surname be deed poll to

Pink dandelion

Scotstar - I know of someone who changed their name to Tallulah Moonlight!
