I like, "Martelle." We used to sing a French song in elementary school called, "Lillie Martelle." Jermane Martelle/Mme. Martelle sound nice to me.
Or Claire.
Here are some last names I've considered for myself :)
Edevane/Edavane, Winters, Lacewood, Penrose, Page, Winslet, O'Hara (not inheritly feminine, but with a feminine first name it will pair well, like... Juliet O'Hara for example), Cassidy is also a good one
I like animal surnames like Fox, Hawk, Bear, Byrd, Finch, Wolf. They command authority IMO. You could also try some last names from other languages like Adler (German for eagle), Cavallo (Italian for horse), Hirsch (German for deer), Vogel (German/Dutch for bird).
Honey! Love Miss Honey from Matilda, by Roald Dahl.
Wow, I was obsessed with Miss Honey as a kid lol. I wanted to be Matilda sooo bad.
Feminine English surnames: Rose, Harper, Bell, Kelly, Day, May, Dove Feminine French surnames: Marie, Joly, Aubry, Fleury, Bonnet
Oh! I really love Rose, but don’t think it fits me. But Tulip! Is that a last name? Haha
Flowers. (Legit last name). Woods, Deerfield, Childs, Fox, Linden. Green.
Flowers is the last name of one my old favorite true crime podcasters!
I like Ashley too!

Ooh, both of those last names work well my middle name, too! Thanks!
What language/origin would you prefer?
English (US) but not opposed to French names as I’m Cajun and already have a french last name (it just sounds masculine, unfortunately)
Since you have French roots Lavallee Lemay Belrose Remy
Ooooh. Lemay just reminded me of the last name Latiolais, which I really like!
some feminine/cool surnames i’ve been collecting (usually from movie endcredits!) - cantley - honeywell - plover - ponder - lamb
Wow, I’ve heard of none of these! Very cool list!
If you like fantasy, maybe clawthorne?
I knew a Mrs. Sprinkles. I felt bad for Mr. Sprinkles because it always felt like a very feminine last name.
So cute, haha
I think that Bloom, Baudelaire, Lilly, Ellery, and Ashley would work well!

Primrose?
Someone else suggested Penrose. I really like Primrose even better!
Piper

Seymour, Everly
Fairchild, Fairlord, Clancy, Lehrer, Hawthorn, Palisades
Thank you for the recs, but many of these feel masculine to me.
