I have a very ordinary last name.
If I was going to change my name, I'd change my last name to my mother's maiden name.
My sister did that, after she got divorced and changed away from her ex-husband's last name.

Personally I wouldn’t dream of changing my name
a. I like it.
b. I think it would hurt my parents if I did.
Choosing your child’s name is one of the biggest decisions a parent make (if they take parenthood seriously) the decision you make stays with them all there life. We chose our children’s names with the following criteria.
a. We liked the name
b. The names we choose we liked abbreviated (nothing worse than hearing someone calling your child by a name you hate.)
c. We now only use the full Christian name now when they are being annoying.
