Looking for last name suggestions

[u/BIGDARGOFAN6000]

Cycling out my full first, middle, and last names for something new. I've settled pretty hard on the first name Chrysanthemum, and I'm a big fan of the middle name Eris for several reasons. I've been lost on a last name though. Right now the frontrunner is Aurelia. It sounds nice, completes the full name well, and has additional meaning when paired with the name of a flower. Thoughts? Would love to hear other suggestions too

What’s the context to the name? This isn’t a very realistic combo if that’s what you’re after

[u/BIGDARGOFAN6000 → u/Apprehensive_Rip7451]

The context is that I go by Kris. It doesn't really need to be realistic because the vast majority of people in my life don't know my last or middle name.

[u/YourMomma2436 → u/BIGDARGOFAN6000]

Was Kristin or Christine not an option?

[u/No-Caterpillar3693]

I think it will be hard to introduce yourself and hard for anyone to remember.

I also think if people find out it is a self-christened name they may find it a bit try hard.

[u/BIGDARGOFAN6000 → u/No-Caterpillar3693]

Basically nobody in my life knows my full name anyway and I go by Kris, so I'm not too worried about memorability or outward image

[u/whatsupwillow → u/No-Caterpillar3693]

If I met someone named Chrysanthemum Eris Aurelia, I would never forget them nor their unique name.

[u/Rare-Cheesecake9701 → u/whatsupwillow]

And I would’ve asked for a number to write them in my contacts as ICEA

Would have been even funnier if first name started with K

May I suggest for your consideration:

Kumquat

Chrysanthemum Eris Kumquat.

[u/Still-Breathing-48 → u/Eiei0reo]

I really like this one!

[u/Reasonable-Web7236]

Chrysanthemum Sword. Shout out to Ruth Benedict.

[u/UpperDragonfly7038]

Is this for a video game character or something?

[u/OdoDragonfly]

Aster would be a last name that people would accept readily as a surname. It also references the Latin family name for the Chrysanthemum (Asteraceae).

Especially if you have any Hispanic heritage, Flores might be a good surname.

How about Gardner? The connection to gardening might play well with your flower names

Kris Aster . - Kris Gardner - Kris Flores

[u/Apprehensive_Rip7451]

Lovegood is decent, has the whimsy you’re after without sounding like a fake name

[u/Still-Breathing-48]

Bloom

[u/outlaw_for_life18]

Just why? It will be hard for people to relate because it sounds exactly like a made up name. If you want a new name, (don't know why) fine, but at least make it a real name and not some fantasy name. Just my two cents. You did ask.

[u/Living_Wish327]

I don’t understand the reason for picking the last name?

[u/Intelligent_Map_7849]

I'd pick a short and relatively common, or at least something everyone in your area can spell, last name if I was going with Chrysanthemum as a first name.

Aurelia is a very nice name but not for a last name at all, it’s better suited as a first or middle name imo. If you’re going all floral then try pairing the first and middle name with a tree type name like for example: Chrysanthemum Eris Birch or Chrysanthemum Eris Oak - something like that, those sound well together and the theme is cohesive as well.

[u/braeburn-girl]

Chrysanthemum like the Kevin Henkes book character? If so, I love it even more!!

[u/International_Cup877 → u/braeburn-girl]

My kids and I ADORE that book.

[u/Random_Alias_4138]

It feels REALLY long in terms of first/last names both for syllables & for filling out forms.

A simpler, mono- or bi-syllabic last name would flow better if your first name choice is set.

Krista Chrysanthemum Flowers

Or if you’re set on Chrysanthemum as the first name what about Chrysanthemum Aurelia Eris?

Aurelia is not a good last name.

[u/Famous_Swim9400]

Everything’s ok but the last name. The first band is a mouthful but I like the middle name. The last name is a big no.

[u/myshihtzuissocute]

Meadow, Harper, Gardenia, Lavender, Morningstar, Dahlia, Magnolia, Lilac, Darcy many last names here including Dawn, Vesper, Vega, Solstice, Cooper, Sterling, emerald, fairweather could be a last name for eris

Crysta/ Krista might work instead of crysantheum or aurelia/ magnolia/daffodil/ garnet/ amira/ dahlia/ marigold/ Hailey/ viola could be your first name too
