It’s a pretty common surname. I feel sorry for people who have it.
I recently read the book “Impure Science”, by Steven Epstein (very good philosophy of science book). It always made me slightly uncomfy whenever I saw it cited as (Epstein, 1996), because that surname inevitably makes me think of Jeffrey Epstein. It must suck to have those connotations attached to your name. Makes me glad that my surname is non descript

Why? Nondescript is an extremely unusual surname.
I would legit change my name. Not saying that they should but I couldn’t live with the correlation
