When a writer begins working on a manuscript, he might not want to spend his time thinking of last names. He probably doesn’t want his characters to have the generic last names Smith, Jones, or Johnson. At the same time, he may want his characters to have familiar last names. The internet is quite helpful when one wants to find lists of first names; even last names can be found by searching the internet, but often one has to browse through page after page, when a simple list of just a few choices will do.

Here is a list of last names-not too long-from A through G to help writers choose a simple but credible last name for characters in their manuscripts.

Last Names Beginning With A

- Aaron

- Abbott

- Ackerman
