Choose my new last name!

Dance. Nicole Dance.

How about your mother’s maiden name? If you like it, that is.

Slartibartfast

Shecky.

Or Briston. But I think you should make it Shecky.

de Plume. Of course, you’ll have to change your first name to Norm…

Go for something stereotypically ethnic, preferably an ethnicity that you’re not a member of. That’ll mess with some minds.

Think Nussbaum, Chang, Palowowski, O’Shaugnessy, Al Feyaad, Standing Bear.

My husband has been trying to get us to change our last name to Shark since we’ve been married. After rejecting it numerous times, he’s suggested we add the letter ‘e’ to the end, because Sharke looks so much more serious.

Noooo!

You’ll mess up my vanity searches.

Ha ha!

Ordheim.

Andheim.

:smiley:

More seriously - any other family names such as a grandparent?

Pick something where the accent isn’t on the first syllable. My first name has the accent on the second syllable, and my maiden name and my married name both accent on the first. So it’s bah-BAH BAH-bah-bah which doesn’t flow well at all. 90% of people call me either BAH-bah, or bah-BAH-bah, as a result.

I’ve come across some pretty interesting names of teachers:

Pylypyshyn.

Azizallahoff.

Aaah. Nicole Aaah!

Is that a variation of Run. Nicole Run.

How about no last name at all? Just like Teller. Not many people legally have just a single name. I think that wouuld be cool.

By the way…you need to tell us which one you pick. I am very interested.
Make it Dime. Have your middle name be “Ann”

Nichole Ann Dime.

I like French names.

Courcelle
Narcisse
Baqueris
Hermes
Gullois

Explosion.

BoBickle.

But seriously…Armstrong.

Nicole Loki?

Nicole Megalodon? No one will mess with you if they think you’re related to giant extinct sharks.

Or… maybe you can put it up for sale to the highest bidder on ebay? What are your thoughts on Nicole PepsiMax or Nicole RonsilQuickDryingWoodStain?

I’ve actually considered changing my name. If I ever get married, I’m taking her name, provided it is something better than mine. Otherwise, I might take my mom’s maiden name.
