What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
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, “<lastname>, 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.
Bruh, Mozart’s whole ass name was cool as hell. Not just his last name. This man wins hands down.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart’s full baptismal name was
Johannes Chrystostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart
But he went by a few different names, partially because there were so many different languages spoken by the aristocracy in 18th century Central Europe that he adapted his name to suit whatever language he was using at the moment. “Theophilus” is the Greek form of “Amadeus.” Sometimes you’ll see the German translation of “Gottlieb.” Day-to-day, he is reported to have gone by “Wolfgang Amadè.”
It wasn’t uncommon for people to translate their names freely like this. Beethoven went by “Luigi” in Italian texts, and “Louis” in French.
“Giuseppe Verdi” would today be translated to English as “Joe Green.”
I knew a girl whose last name was Fantasia. I always thought that was awesome
Pendragon
I knew someone with the last name Lancaster, it feels both game of thronesy and cyberpunky
born to be a network engineer
I met someone named McCool once. I thought that was pretty cool.

Smithe. It’s Smith with an E. Your source of high quality names.
Smith-Y?
Sm-EYE-th?
Smith-with-an-E?Not to be confused with “Smith, eh” which is most commonly found in Canada.
January
Idk why, I just thought that it sounds cool for a surname. I even have a cartoon character in my imagination that has it.
A person I’ve worked with before literally had the last name ‘Cool’. I thought that was pretty cool.
DeLeòn
I have some family named Cambias, and learned it’s because they lost their last names in the Spanish inquisition when they were forcibly converted to Christianity. Changed.
Honestly, my own. Meyers is pretty good, even if nobody knows how to spell it.
Power
Growing up the local judge was a Power. So yes, Judge Power.
Always sounded like he was going to send you to the phantom zone or something.
Don’t forget Max Power, the coolest name ever.
IndyCar driver Will Power
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.

I sense a theme.
