Lotsa fun here, but beware! The ones that are funniest are likely to make trouble with straight-faced officials down the road; they'll decide the name is a fake, and then you have an argument to make.

For many, many years (probably too late now) I've sworn that I was going to change my last name to something imaginative like Smith or Jones or Brown. The reason is plain when I sign off as . . .

P.S. If I were forced to change it now, I'd adopt "Austria", a simpleminded transliteration from German.
