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

I mean, people can always just “invent” a last name by means of being derivative. My siblings have lots and lots of children and often give them “theme names” or pun names, either because it’s cool or helps them remember and keep track of everyone. One of them has a very musical-sounding first and middle name and just became engaged to the Crescendo family which I think is cool.
“This is Melody Crescendo”
“Oh, that’s pretty. What’s her middle name?”
“Well Melody is her middle name. Her real first name is Hurdy-Gurdy”
I once worked with a guy with the last name of Fick (German for fuck) and a woman with the last name Lazarus. I found both quite cool. The guy in particular was very offensive with his name, always answering the phone with simply “Fick”. I just looked him up and he has changed his last name, probably by marriage. I guess he found it unprofessional in the end.
It’s common for German people to just answer the phone with their surname at work. He wasn’t being offensive.
