Surname Change

[cosmos-calling.livejournal.com]

I am going to be changing my surname after my divorce is finalized. I want to choose something completely new to me, as in, not even a "family name".

Do you know any awesome last names?
Do you have any suggestions?
What would you change your surname to, if you could change it right now?

ETA: I have settled on Phoenix as my new future surname. :) Highly symbolic in many ways for me.

Oh, I just thought of my favorite last name - Moriarty. I'd like that for myself. Courtney Moriarty. Nice!

Of course, I would want a last name that I wouldn't have to spell. I always had to spell out my maiden name and now I have to spell out my married name. It's a pain in the ass so take that into consideration. =)

A few last names from my facebook friend list just for kicks. I'll put a start next to the ones I like:
