bored on the fourth of july

So far today I have ignored celebrated the US's Independence Day by eating the traditional meal of dry-spiced potatoes and cauliflower with fried eggs, lime pickle, and yogurt. (Okay, possibly not traditional. Possibly, considering the inclusion of the fried eggs, not traditional anywhere. But good.)

Later, I will celebrate some more by going to work.

Yay?

You know, if the 13 colonies had stayed British, we'd have national health care now. And same-sex almost-marriage. Just sayin'.

upper-class German family names

Once again I turn to the German-speaking folks in my circle for help. I need a family name for a character who doesn't have one canonically. He's a career German army officer, probably born about 1890, who is a colonel (Oberst) when we meet him in 1940. My guess is that his family background is upper class but probably not aristocratic. Any suggestions for good names?

I've googled for German surnames but I'm not pulling up enough information to judge social connotations, though I'm assuming that names with occupational associations are ones to avoid.
