Has anyone here ever anglicized their last name? How did you

Assimilation is good

My Russian last name was obviously just translated into the Latin alphabet and pronounced with American phonetic structure.

>>65719045
Schmidt to Smith in 1920s or so

>>65723093

I can't really pull off a direct translation though

Marcosson doesn't really make sense and Windowmaker isn't even a real last name.

>entire name is Irish as fuck
>can't think of a single Irish relative or ancestor

My parents are WE WUZ as fuck.

There are a lot of Anglo -sons so I don't really see the problem with that

Maybe shorten it to Macher and change that to Maker or something?

>>65723266
Windsor or Winderson?

>>65719045
>Fenstermacher
anglo?
that's a germanic name

Andy Warhol did.

Warhola>Warhol

Change Marquez to Martin(s) and Fenstermacher to Ferguson... that's Scottish but I can't think of anything good.

How would you anglicize Zahariev, means sugar-iev.

It would just be Sugar

Yeah, that'll work. I might just drop my second last name entirely because having two last names is a Spanish thing

I'm trying to change my last name to something more English sounding.

>>65719045
My ancestors did a couple hundred years ago.

"ap Howel" become "Powell"

Is anglicizing last names making a comeback?

Why?

>>65719045
Great-great-grandparents went from Käser to Kaiser
