Hey, everyone!
I’m not sure if I will end up changing my last name, but it’s fun to daydream. What are some nice surnames? I’d prefer something at least 2 syllables. I’m American, if that helps. Thank you for helping me with my unorthodox request, ha ha.
Blackwood is one I like but I don’t think I’ll use.
Thanks again!
J names work well in the USA! [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], [name_u]Jackson[/name_u], etc. etc. There for your standards well. 
Jackson is great! Adding it to my list of “maybes.” Thx 
Similar to Blackwood, I’ve used Lacewood, Ashwood, and Rosewood for characters and think they’re very cool and elegant surnames.
Here are some 2+ syllable surnames I like:
[name_u]Abbott[/name_u], Birdwell, [name_m]Blanchard[/name_m], [name_u]Collins[/name_u], [name_m]Davidson[/name_m], [name_m]Eaton[/name_m], [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m], [name_m]Hawkins[/name_m], [name_f]Hathaway[/name_f], [name_m]Jennings[/name_m], [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]/Laurence, [name_m]Lawson[/name_m], Meadows, [name_m]Osborne[/name_m], O’[name_u]Reilly[/name_u], [name_m]Peterson[/name_m], [name_m]Phillips[/name_m], Ridgeway, [name_u]Rivers[/name_u], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_m]Thompson[/name_m], [name_u]Taylor[/name_u], [name_m]Weaver[/name_m], [name_m]Watson[/name_m], [name_m]Wycliffe[/name_m], [name_m]Williams[/name_m], [name_m]Winters[/name_m]
(I pulled these from my “surnames to use for characters” list, hence the fact they’re in alphabetical order. Some are rarer/stranger than others, but I hope you like at least some of them!)
These are wonderful! Birdwell and [name_m]Winters[/name_m] are going on my list. Thanks!
