There’s a famous British actor named Trevor Peacock (I assume he’s famous as I’ve heard of him and I live in the US), who also had sons who are actors but I won’t name them lest I break the rules.
How about Paul Rudd?

Bat Masterson
Phoebe Waller-Bridge

I’m curious why Theodore Sturgeon is listed in the OP under “Nicknames, Pen Names, Stage Names” rather than “Family Names”? It wasn’t his birth name but wasn’t a pen name either – according to Wikipedia it was legally changed at age 11 when his mother remarried.

Does the compound name “Wolfgang” count? It’s a common first name in Germanic cultures and has always amused me, since it’s so suggestive of “wolf pack”. There’s:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Puck (famous Austrian chef)
Wolfgang Petersen (German director who directed the famous Das Boot)
Wolfgang Pauli (Austrian theoretical physicist; the Pauli exclusion principle was named after him)
Hall Of Fame baseball player Rabbit Maranville
(Often given as the answer to the question, hey, who’s the worst player in the Hall Of Fame?)
