What is a good last name for "Abbeline?"?

Jackson-Smythe.

Care to give us a little more explanation?

Welcome of Fluther ^^

A good last name is one that can be remembered easy.

I’ll explain more. I’m writing a story, possibly a book, and I’m creating the full name of a girl named Abbeline. But I do not know what last name would sound good with her name. I do not know what her character is like yet.

@CatieDalleLydon Thanks for that.

Wait then on her last name till the personality of the character is defined.
Just put a placeholder or temporary name in until you get a feeling.
Abbeline Sundance
Abbeline Brisby

Okay, then, taking @lloydbird‘s advice:

Abbeline Iowa

Farr (or Phar or Pharr)
West
Cruz

I’d favor a one-syllable name, too.

If it were my character, I’d choose a name with either one syllable,

two syllables with accent on the second: da-DUM
(Picard, McLean, Ahern, Lamont, etc.),

or three syllables with accent on the second: da-DUM-da
(Sylvester, Corona, Montana, McNichol, Kilpatrick, etc.).

Choice would depend on what I wanted to convey about her ethnicity, nationality, social class, style, character, etc. In real life, a name can’t show all those things because we are born to our names and have no control over them—they don’t grow as we grow and reflect who we are. But in a story, every last detail is the result of the author’s decision and is therefore not without meaning.

And naturally no one else can make your choices.

If you start writing, I think she will tell you what her last name is. You have to start telling her story and it will come to you.
