What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
Smithe. It’s Smith with an E. Your source of high quality names.
Not to be confused with “Smith, eh” which is most commonly found in Canada.
Smith-Y?
Sm-EYE-th?
Smith-with-an-E?
Nero
Met a guy with the surname “Case” and first name “Justin”. Thought that was pretty cool
I also did but I thought it was kinda lame?
At the cemetery I work at we got a couple Blickenderfers, Hammermeisters, and even a couple Deatherages. All pretty BA names. One of the Deatherages was even named Ozzy.
Focker
Kuntz. Yep, said like That… As in Rusty Kuntz. Best baseball name in history:
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.
Anzalone sounds like the generic name for a drug. Glad he went with a stage name.
How has no one said McLovin??
Bruh, Mozart’s whole ass name was cool as hell. Not just his last name. This man wins hands down.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Sergei Rachmaninov is a pretty cool name and keeps with the theme.
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.”
Thanks for the history lesson. Honestly every one of those different names and translations is pretty good too.
Did Beethoven have a brother Mario?
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 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 worked with teacher named Mr. Zero for a year. He was super cool.
Also, if you haven’t seen it, the Zero Effect is a solid movie with Ben Stiller and Bill Pullman. The latter plays Daryl Zero.
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.
I met someone named McCool once. I thought that was pretty cool.
that’s too cool
