Remember, these Name and Surname posts, as well as the Word posts are to serve a purpose for you, my fellow writer! And that purpose is to help you in choosing the perfect name or names for you character (or characters) as well as widen your vocabulary. =]
If you have a request for a name or two, be it a theme (names with Fire meanings, or Forest, Elvish, Desert, etc.), or a set of Surnames for a Medieval, Period Drama, or whatever setting, drop me a comment! and I will see what I can find.
