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

Idk why, I just thought that it sounds cool for a surname. I even have a cartoon character in my imagination that has it.
I like my Norwegian heritage side of the family: Bull.
This name has auspicious connotations in the… spicy… community.

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
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.”
Did Beethoven have a brother Mario?
Sergei Rachmaninov is a pretty cool name and keeps with the theme.
I worked on a ladies computer one time and her name was Judy Batman.

I met someone named McCool once. I thought that was pretty cool.
