My stage name is Witchfire. A lot of people think it's my real last name. I don't correct them.

Idk why, I just thought that it sounds cool for a surname. I even have a cartoon character in my imagination that has it.
How has no one said McLovin??
Met a guy with the surname "Case" and first name "Justin". Thought that was pretty cool
I also did but I thought it was kinda lame?
Doctor Solomonides. I'm absolutely terrible with names and it's stuck with me since I was a child.
In high school I knew a guy named Mark Outlaw. Never have I heard a cooler name.
I knew this girl once whose surname was ΞΟΞ±ΞΊΞΏΟΞΏΟΞ»ΞΏΟ (Drakopulu) that means "daughter of the dragon"
I think that's pretty fire idk about you guys
Dudemeister, went to school with a German guy with the last name. They also used it on scrubs https://scrubs.fandom.com/wiki/Keith_Dudemeister
Atreides
DeLeΓ²n
I have some family named Cambias, and learned it's because they lost their last names in the Spanish inquisition when they were forcibly converted to Christianity. Changed.
I met someone named McCool once. I thought that was pretty cool.
that's too cool
Nero
Focker
Cantalapiedra which can be roughly translated as: the stone that sings. Canta: sing La: the Piedra: stone
Max Warman. Seriously.
Honestly you can Google anything like "best last name" and get some crazy nonsense, it's great.
I knew a girl whose last name was Fantasia. I always thought that was awesome
I worked on a ladies computer one time and her name was Judy Batman.
I worked with teacher named Mr. Zero for a year. He was super cool.
Also, if you haven't seen it, the Zero Effect is a solid movie with Ben Stiller and Bill Pullman. The latter plays Daryl Zero.
Power
Growing up the local judge was a Power. So yes, Judge Power.
Always sounded like he was going to send you to the phantom zone or something.
Don't forget Max Power, the coolest name ever.
βI got it off a hair dryer.β
I once worked with a guy with the last name of Fick (German for fuck) and a woman with the last name Lazarus. I found both quite cool. The guy in particular was very offensive with his name, always answering the phone with simply "Fick". I just looked him up and he has changed his last name, probably by marriage. I guess he found it unprofessional in the end.
It's common for German people to just answer the phone with their surname at work. He wasn't being offensive.
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.
One of the IT people at my high school had a surname of "Code". He did write some code, but mainly KiXtart scripts.
Wow, I havenβt thought about kixtart in a long time!
Same. I was in high school in the 2000s. They used KiXtart for the login scripts. Some friends and I figured out that if we pulled out the network cable at a particular point in the login process on the Windows 2000 school computers, we'd have access to some things we normally wouldn't have access to, like being able to access the WINNT directory and the root of the drive (which were usually locked down). That was fun.
