Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Using "von" makes the name descendent of nobility!. So try a few of these:

von Mueller
von Stoeller
von Briest
Margrave
Falkenberg
von Feuerbach
von Droste-Hülshoff
von Zei?berg

Some of these are actual nobles!. So the names have a bit of authenticity to them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Use "Sandweg"!.It has a meaning, it's nice, not too short not too long!.It actually reminds the name of my ex-boyfriend who was GermanWww@QuestionHome@Com

Zucker - Meaning Sugar

If I knew what your story was about, I might be able to help you find a better name!.!.!. but I personally feel that Zucker is a good lively name!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
