Hi, I was going to make an alt today, but unfortunately most of the last names do not appeal to me. Why does LL make so many ugly/icky last names that make no sense? Is there any ethnic realism behind any of them? I am going to make a list of all of the last names that are currently available and make little comments next to each one, lol.

I will be brief:
1. You have far too much time on your hands.
2. You have insulted a good many real surnames.

You may redeem your self by taking the telephone directory and checking each of those names against the directory and calling and apologizing to someone with each insulted name.

That will take care of both 1 and 2.
