    I've decided that my first and middle names are going to be Aleksander Razimierz (pronounced Rah-JEEM-yerz), in part to recognize my largely polish and Norwegian ancestry, and just because I like uncommon names. I also want to change my last name for reasons unrelated to my gender identity, but I don't know what surname would go well with my first and middle names. Any ideas? I prefer unusual names and/or names if non-English origin, if possible. Thanks!

    I have a good friend with the last name Kozlowski. Thoughts there?

    Perhaps something short, since your first two name are already quite long.

    The great thing about the Internet you can search sir names by region, popularity and or by the first letter. I chose Megan Marie Martin

    The Megan wife suggested because if we ever had children she would have named her daughter Megan. Marie is my late mother's middle name. The Martin ( don't tell my wife ) was the last name of my first love and it had a good ring to it.
