We need a new Surname!

Ladies, I am not even going to tell you what my and my dh's surnames are. Lets just say we are NOT giving them to our children. We are not fond of maiden names in the family. I've looked at our genelogy 8 generations back. And I'm just not feeling it.

What are your favorite surnames? There are some really awesome surnames out there. What are your favorites?

My kids will mostly be Italian, Irish and French. They will also be English, Scottish, Dutch, and Swedish, if that helps. But I don't really care. I just want a really striking surname!

Pace (means peace) and Love are my favorite surnames! Also, check out http://www.answers.com/library/American+Family+Name+Origins, which has more surnames than here.

have you considered a combination of your surnames or the maiden names? or tuning one of your first names into into a surname. not necesarily using your name but a surname variation, if that makes sense.

I know a guy with that last name!

It's a good strong name. Not sure what nationality though.
