They're all badass names, known very well to Americans. I'm going to have to go with Vanderbilt, because I think it would be the most versatile with first names.

Rockefeller. It sounds cool. Forbes would be second. Ven Der Bilt would be way down, way, way down bellow. My surname's Van Roon, and I actually hate it. It's Dutch and means "from the family of roons" apparently... I just don't like having three initials, and people think it's double-barreld and say either Roon or Van are very "unusual" names. It's so annoying.
Anyway, yeah, Rockefeller.

van der Bilt
It sounds rich, haha. But again, all of those names sound like the type of names that fancy attorneys living on the Upper East Side would have.
