    My dad was (apparently) conceived anonymously, so our last name is just some bullshit that was made up for the birth certificate. In other words my name doesn't come from anything, which always felt like a cool novelty. I'm rootless

      So your grandma didn’t just give your dad her last name?

        No, and I don't know why. I'm glad though, because her name was really boring

            No, but her name most likely came from there. It sounds like something that would've fit with a British caricature.

            I also wanna mention: she always insisted that the person on the birth certificate was real, but if he was we've never been able to find him or any record of him, and she was known to be a compulsive liar. So her making up the name is ultimately just an assumption, but it's the one we've always went with because it made too much sense. Especially considering what our name actually is

              How bizarre. I’m going to assume it’s Teabing like in the Da Vinci Code.
