What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.

Well, ", hello?" is quite common. But just shouting Fick! when answering a call is always on purpose, no matter if it's your actual name.

I live in Germany, it's how people answer the phone here, often. Not everyone but a lot, no Hallo after, just name.

I live in Germany as well and with a name like Fick, answering the phone in this manner is a statement.
