For this particular post, I don’t know that there needs to be a problem to get a response. OP could have just left out all of the back story and asked for new last name ideas. I think the story just adds a little context for the sake of conversation and to help scope potential reaponses. If it is for anonymity, just go with Smith.
Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions

For any advice post, there should be one thing that is most important: a clear description of the problem.
Otherwise, all advice is almost completely random/useless. Because maybe changing the name is the right solution, but maybe it isn’t. There’s no way to know.
In my opinion, there is no explanation of the problem at all here. You just say “too identifiable”, however my name/lastname is probably also completely unique, yet I can’t even think of a problem I would have with that.
So, what is the actual problem?

This also isn’t an opinion community. That’s asklemmy.
Or I guess maybe it is. Who knows. With no defined theme like it’s subreddit namesake, it’s just asklemmy2 at this point. Might as well make it a meme community, too
