Just use whatever pops into your head!
For my B&W mix siblings, White.
I used that to make a Russian family. xD
I know "good" is rather subjective, but I wanted lot's of new and varied last names. I got so sick of the last names I used last time. My biggest in Sims 2 was Inkfield-and that was because I was stumped, saw an ink cartridge box on my counter, and added field to make it longer! And it spread like wild fire!!! The other common ones were Geddes, Long, and Thorne...by the end, I would have lot's of babies out of marriage just to avoid these boring last names!!! I can't wait to use some of these great names!
Ness
Macy
Snitch
Pride
Monet
Parlay
Pinkerton
LaVossa
Archer
Sunset
Shoehorn
Goolay
Longers
Yung
Gums
Lamp
Desk
Chair
Pen
Computer
Wait... I'm just naming things I see...
