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

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.

"This is Melody Crescendo"

"Oh, that's pretty. What's her middle name?"

"Well Melody is her middle name. Her real first name is Hurdy-Gurdy"
