What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
Pendragon
Pendragon the dragon-born, king of dragons.
Ravenscroft
Instant goth
Mate here in italy we have “della morte” as a surname; which translates literally to “of the death”. I don’t think we can get more goth than this
Danzig
Glenn Danzig was born with the perfect name for an 80s metal bandGlenn Danzig was born with the perfect name for an 80s metal band
FYI Danzig is his stage name. His actual last name is Anzalone.
Ah, well fuck.
Still kinda cool thoughSomehow it makes sense to learn he’s Italian, not German.
I knew someone with the last name Lancaster, it feels both game of thronesy and cyberpunky
born to be a network engineer
Hash. born on 4/20. growing up we used to go here to roast bowls
In sweet grass County
Kuntz. Yep, said like That… As in Rusty Kuntz. Best baseball name in history:
I knew this girl once whose surname was Δρακοπούλου (Drakopulu) that means “daughter of the dragon”
I think that’s pretty fire idk about you guys
I once worked with a guy with the last name of Fick (German for fuck) and a woman with the last name Lazarus. I found both quite cool. The guy in particular was very offensive with his name, always answering the phone with simply “Fick”. I just looked him up and he has changed his last name, probably by marriage. I guess he found it unprofessional in the end.
It’s common for German people to just answer the phone with their surname at work. He wasn’t being offensive.
Well, “, hello?” is quite common. But just shouting Fick! when answering a call is always on purpose, no matter if it’s your actual name.
I live in Germany, it’s how people answer the phone here, often. Not everyone but a lot, no Hallo after, just name.
I live in Germany as well and with a name like Fick, answering the phone in this manner is a statement.
I like my Norwegian heritage side of the family: Bull.
This name has auspicious connotations in the… spicy… community.
I’ve been to “chocolate” parties.
Murgatroyd, which was the last name of one of the dancers on Dancing With The Stars. To me, it sounds very sci-fi, it makes me think of how Trillian combined her first and last name to make something sound more “space-like” in Hitchhikers Guide.
The only reference to Murgatroyd I’ve ever heard: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fwpj27hlP4
Sweet is a nice last name, though I’m sure some guys don’t like being called “Mr. Sweet”. Names like Fox or Wolf are pretty badass. Also some indigenous last names can be cool like Roundpoint or Buckshot.
Are you kidding? Mr. Sweet sounds like some kind of professional hitman. I do not want to meet with any Mr. Sweet :)
I met someone named McCool once. I thought that was pretty cool.
that’s too cool
One of the IT people at my high school had a surname of “Code”. He did write some code, but mainly KiXtart scripts.
Wow, I haven’t thought about kixtart in a long time!
Same. I was in high school in the 2000s. They used KiXtart for the login scripts. Some friends and I figured out that if we pulled out the network cable at a particular point in the login process on the Windows 2000 school computers, we’d have access to some things we normally wouldn’t have access to, like being able to access the WINNT directory and the root of the drive (which were usually locked down). That was fun.
I knew a girl whose last name was Fantasia. I always thought that was awesome
A person I’ve worked with before literally had the last name ‘Cool’. I thought that was pretty cool.
I worked with a ‘McCool’
He said introducing himself was a pickup line
