I adore this name but surname begins with S so sadly doesn't go. Any suggestions for similar names, not endng with S? Thanks

I don't think it's a problem if your suname begins with 's' - it will just flow together with a slightly longer s sound, which to my
ears sounds rather elegant.
e.g. Iris Saunders sounds great!

If you love the name - go for it!!

Eric Cantona/ Clapton
