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

I knew someone with the last name Lancaster, it feels both game of thronesy and cyberpunky

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

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

Somehow it makes sense to learn he’s Italian, not German.
