I have found myself in a unique and unanticipated situation.
I have to change my name ONLY if I want to get a passport.
I want and need a passport.

By a curious chain of events I am only able to get a birth certificate to my birth name, but my name was changed when I was adopted at age 3. Part of the chain of events include a fire that destroyed records.

After phone calls and letters to obtain a birth certificate my check and request form was returned with the suggestion that I would have to do a name change to get a birth certificate. My birth name is hideous and I'm not that fond of what I have now. My name now is already a different spelling than my children's names.

So If I have to change my name to obtain a passport, I may as well choose a name that will serve me best.

I have been looking at the credits at the end of movies more closely.
I have entertained last names of great peace makers.
Names like George W Carlin have come to mind.

I have heard certain names are far more receptive to others and may even be the cause for successful interactions.

Yeah I even looked into porn names but are the most unlikely.

At any rate some names are better than others so if you know any post them.
