I'd like to drop my surname and, legally, just have a first name. For me firstname.lastname is far from unique and there are better situation specific ways to disambiguate firstname when there is a clash, eg at work. Sadly UK paperwork doesn't allow it.
Also lastname remains horrible patriarchal bullshit in my mind. I'm amazed so many women continue to take their husbands name on marriage.
