    I guess it depends how common your last name is where you live. If you’re a Smith/Johnson/Brown/Williams in the USA, those are pretty common. If you’ve got one of those names in China, maybe a name change is in order.

    If your last name is Summerbell, that’s a bit rare, and maybe you need to distance yourself.

      It depends on one’s name, because said name happened to make people infer one’s ethnicity. It’s more of an ethnicity thing if you think about it. For Khazars (I’m a crypto Khazar, so I’m convinced), we change our name to hide the fact we’re Khazars, because we’re wannabe Caucus Eurpoeans, but we come from Turkey originally (and eastern Europe as the Khazars).

    My last name is limited to my 5 closest relatives. This is due to a bizarre misspelling 3 generations back followed by mostly female descendants.

        Yeah. I’d like to be able to, but this isn’t the kind of society where my opinions should be matched to my body.

        I can tell you that the original was Sicilian.
