Which Swedish surname is better?

I'm on assignment to write a fictional family for my Humanities class. The family is Swedish coming to America on Elis Island and I need to get them a Swedish surname. I don't want the most typical Patrilineal Swedish surname of SSON. So I want a farm name :)

Åkerström OR Södergård

One one is more aesthetically pleasing and which one is more phonetically pleasing? (Go to google translate and paste it to hear how it sounds in Swedish)

    I'd go with Södergård.

    Plenty more here if you can't decide. :)

    That is sort of tough but these are the closet i will to find: RUSSIAN: Smirnov--peaceful one's Sokolov--falcon's Volkov--wolf's Russian and Swedish surnames originate from final names being like "Of John", "Of Peter" or like "Son of John" "Son of Peter" so...As difficult as it was to search out Russian final names at any place virtually what you wanted, its not possible to find Swedish ones like that.
