What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.

Glenn Danzig was born with the perfect name for an 80s metal band

FYI Danzig is his stage name. His actual last name is Anzalone.

Ah, well fuck.
Still kinda cool though

Anzalone sounds like the generic name for a drug. Glad he went with a stage name.
