I want to change my surname any ideas?

[Mummblebee]

I want a fresh start and a new "identity"

Any suggestions?

Thanks X

Mc ‘something’ I always fancied a Scottish surname

It’s what every Glastonbury twit called Paul calls themselves.

Pendragon that is.

@Yourcupwillneverempty always wanted Fox. Amy Fox is brilliant.

Or you could go for a flower

Rose
Poppy

Something short so filling in forms is quicker

Ive always liked Cavendish.

Longshanks
Wellbeloved
Dangerfield

My cousin has the best surname ever - she married a Swiss chap and her surname is now Cockriser (not actually that spelling, can never remember how it’s spelled but pronounced as cock riser).

Amy Waterford

I always liked Steele! It's so solid and bad ass!

Always loved Callaghan

Amy Surplus has a certain rugged quality I think.

I like the season suggestion!

I used to know someone who'd changed her surname to Phoenix - reborn from the ashes, etc.

Amy Able

Trivia fact: Turkey introduced surnames in 1934, so everyone had to pick. Some of the most common ones are the Turkish words for: Brave, Star, Falcon, Iron, Steel, Rock.

In case any of those appealed!

I love Hawthorne, Cavendish and Appleby from above.

I’d be Wolfe if I changed my name.

Wilde. Love it.

Tatiana oh no, is it? That's ruined it for me, I was thinking of more of a daphne du maurier historic bodice ripper.

How about a natural name like Forest or Bramble? Depends what you are like and what you like really OP!

Wild, like the feminist communes.

Amy Darling love this too

Wow so many great suggestions. I love mumsnet haha

Thanks everyone

Every Amy I have ever known has had a noun as a surname -strange but true!
I've known a Gold, a Lake, and a Sugar. Some of the above suggestions like Holiday and Valentine fit that and sound wonderful

I knew a famity who changed their name to Snowball, which is really rather wonderful. I like my surname, but if I was going to change it I think would go for Lutyens or Trinity.
