Hell Name

Some of my ancestors had the surname of Hell, also spelt Helle. In the German, it meant a "wild place", as rough ground, trees, brush, a place of difficult passage.

I also have ancestors with the surname of Beer, and a whole lot of other questionable, unsavory type names, such as Hussey (from the French).

As to changing it, I reckon it would depend upon all the circumstances.

Hell is a great last name. A lot better than Hoare which was my grandmother's last name. They let her into Catholic school.

Hello Morgana (cute name) :

Because of scripture, I wouldn't change my name. I'm glad this young boy stood up for himself and kept his own last name.

The scripture I'm talking about says that God even knew our name before we were born.

I would add either "Goto", "Seeyouin" or "Bloody" to the start of it and create a double-barreled surname

NO I WOULD NOT CHANGE IT...and I'm glad they decided not to go to that school!

no i wouldn't but it kinda depends on what your religion is. Hope this helps!

Hell no.
