New Last Names

Periodically Linden Lab releases new last names in a effort to differentiate and to give access to popular first names again, as most common first names are usually filled very quickly.

Historically Linden Lab only allowed 150 avatars with the same last name. The idea was that this would give a sense of a tribe relationship, and would increase social behaviour. Which might have worked in the early days when Second Life was small. Eventually they increased that number, likely just out of practicality. I would assume they switch out names now just when they are saturated.

About a week ago 148 147 new last names where put in rotation. These times are always a good opportunity to create new alt accounts. Maybe you just want a new alt with a different first name, or one of those last names will make for a excellent/funny new character. You could be Pang Pang or Large Spot. (if they aren't taken yet) ;)
