Which surname?

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_u]Howard[/name_u] or [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] as a surname for my main character [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] nn. [name_f]Bee[/name_f]?

I prefer [name_u]Howard[/name_u]. If her name was just “[name_f]Bee[/name_f]” [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] would have been fine, but I feel like [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] weighs [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] down.

I would think [name_u]Howard[/name_u] would work better and I think [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]'s nn should be [name_f]Trixie[/name_f] since that seems like a good character name in my opinion.

I think [name_u]Howard[/name_u] just sounds better. Not sure why.
