Spiegel. It's German, probably a slightly roundabout location-based surname (it means mirror, you describe a lake as mirror-like, you say that someone lives by the lake that looks like a mirror... I think you can fill in the rest).

I like it because it reminds me of all the family history it carries, and all the shit my family went through to get where they are today. I dislike (very slightly) that, because it's a fairly common Jewish name, and I'm of Jewish decent, it's easy to assume that it comes from the Jewish side of the family (when it actually comes from my asshole great-grandfather who left my half-Jewish great-grandmother because being married to a half-Jewish woman under the Nazi government was bad for his career prospects).

My family are the only Spiegels in the state. I have to spell it out for people every time because they almost always the the I and the E the wrong way around.

I suppose it sounds okay with my given names. Both my first and middle names are from great-grandmothers, so they're fairly traditional-sounding; and my middle name is from great-grandmother Spiegel, so it's even a traditional German name.
