What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.

Dudemeister, went to school with a German guy with the last name. They also used it on scrubs https://scrubs.fandom.com/wiki/Keith_Dudemeister

I mean, people can always just "invent" a last name by means of being derivative. My siblings have lots and lots of children and often give them "theme names" or pun names, either because it's cool or helps them remember and keep track of everyone. One of them has a very musical-sounding first and middle name and just became engaged to the Crescendo family which I think is cool.

Idk why, I just thought that it sounds cool for a surname. I even have a cartoon character in my imagination that has it.

In high school I knew a guy named Mark Outlaw. Never have I heard a cooler name.

Doctor Solomonides. I'm absolutely terrible with names and it's stuck with me since I was a child.

My stage name is Witchfire. A lot of people think it's my real last name. I don't correct them.
