I always got a bit sad when it was revealed that Natsu's actual GIVEN last name was "Dragneel"

As when first getting into Fairy Tail, I thought that he gave himself his last name.

As think about it. This kid grew up with a fucking dragon. What is a surname gonna do for him? It's most likely that he would just be "Son of Igneel" or the "Fire Dragon Prince".

I always LOVED the idea of when he was brought to the present and people kept asking for a surname. And, apparently, "Son of Igneel" did not suffice.

So he came up with Dragneel on the fly. As it's combination of "Dragon" and "Igneel". I always thought it was endearing as it was him honoring his father in a way.

But then Zeref has the same last name and yeh. :/
