What are some popular, but unique english last names in the Victorian Era?

Question

I need to know some popular, yet unique english last names during the 1800s.

Answer 1

As surnames/last names became hereditary in England from about the Twelfth/Thirteenth Century they are not likely to be unique in Victorian Times.  Some families may have died out by then but the only new ones are  probably of immigrants or of immigrants who changed their names.  You might for example consider, in Ireland particularly, that Irish surnames are not what they were originally because the English could not read, write, or speak Irish Gaelic.

Did you mean Christian names?  We did get some very strange and different ones in the Victorian Era.

Answer 2

No English last names were unique only to the Victorian era; however, historians associate certain surnames with it.  Think Tennyson, Browning, Kipling, Dickens, Gladstone, and Disraeli.  

Some first names, particularly for girls, were popular with  Victorians both in the United States and the United Kingdom; for instance, Florence, Emma, Clara, Minnie, and Lillian.

Answer 3

Being popular would mean the name is not unique. How about naming them after occupations? Eg Carpenter, Carter, Taylor, Butcher, Wainwright, Cartwright, Farmer.

Otherwise yuo've got the traditional British names like Smith, Jones etc.
