I need help coming up with a last name!

So I chose the name [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Elias[/name_u], but my wife and I can’t decide on a last name. We need ideas

Are you considering using either of your last names, a combination of the two, or are you starting from scratch?

3

From scratch. We don’t want our child to be tied to either of our parents, just like we don’t.

4

Do you have a place or common interest or something special to the two of you that could be used?

Maybe you’d want to find a last name that honours your heritage? You could also use your own name for inspiration (e.g. if your name were [name_m]Henry[/name_m], you could use [name_m]Harrison[/name_m].) Another idea would be to use a surname of someone you look up to (although if it’s someone you personally know and are close with that may be awkward and/or confusing.) Other options would be an animal (e.g. [name_u]Fox[/name_u], [name_u]Wolf[/name_u]) or adjective (e.g [name_u]Brave[/name_u], Kind) that feels significant to you.
