None of them sound remotely authentic as a surname.
💀💀
Failed spectacularly
Meelis Öösärk
sounds authentic enough
Kuldöö is the only one I wouldn’t think of as super weird, even though I’ve never heard it before.
most of these are just 2 words put together that would normally be written separately and none of them really sound like they could be names
the first word I could think of that includes öö and could be a name is pööbel, which is a somewhat derogatory term for the working class and according to name statistics ([https://www.stat.ee/nimed/pere/p%C3%B6%C3%B6bel](https://www.stat.ee/nimed/pere/p%C3%B6%C3%B6bel)) there are some people with that name
Öö means night. So it connects nonsense adjectives or adverbs to it mostly. Päikseöö is even an oxymoron. Having a surname associated with night is probably extremely rare in any case.
Öösärk phahahahahahahhaaa I can’t even
Imagine some English guy with the name James Nightgown
Kogu see nimekiri tundub kreisiraadio poolt välja mõeldud olevat. Kivimööbel ja Öösärk??
Öösärk is funny but sounds the most believable.
Like Tõnis Öösark for example
Estonian surnames came in two waves first in 1816-1819 with the abolition of serfdom and then on 1930s when there was a movement of Estonianizing the German names as a lot of german landlords had given their former serfs German names. Mostly what AI has came up are kind of names for a protagonist of a 1980s futuristic novel, like Kivimööbel (Stonefurniture), Hiireöö (micenight)
Kööpöö – funny sound but not really authentic sounding. Kööp is Estonian name. Kööpa, Kööbik etc would be. (Kääbik is the Hobbit in Estonian). Having the second vowel some other vowel rather than ö would be more authentic and also short not long.
Some are just antigrammatical
These ones should be two words, can’t be written as one word in Estonian. Lumine öö (snowy night), Õnnelik öö (lucky night), Kuum öö (hot night), roheline öö (green night), Tähistaeva öö (starry sky night), Loominguline öö (creative night), Kivine öö (stony night), Kuuvalge öö (Moonlight night), Tuisune öö (snowstormy night), Värskendav öö (refreshing night)
Unenäöö Something happened as word unenägu dream was cut in the middle of a word and night then night is added.
Öösärk nightgown is just funny word for a name.
I now realize most of these surnames are as ridiculous as *Öökullivõileib*.
Vägahalb-öö
imeheaunenäoöösärk
Õnneliköö sounds good to me… A fine pickup line in a nightclub..
As a non-native I especially love this because “öö” was my first favorite word in Estonian.
Unenäöö on mu lemmik, vahetan nüüd oma nime
It did succeed except for the kööpöö part
Nagu mingi Kreisiraadio tegelaste perekonnanimed haha
Ööbik.

Yes, they sound estoniash. This Kuumöö=Hotnight, would be bit strange to carry around.
Nah, it failed miserably. None of them are surnames. Only öösärk is a correct word. Some of them are oxymoron like “päikeseöö”(sun’s night?) night literally means lack of sun. Both of them cannot exist at the same time because they are part of the same “coin”. Rest of them are poor attempt to characterize a night like green night(rohelineöö) or stoney night(kivineöö). It seems that ChatGPT doesn’t know the meaning of words and how to characterize objects and events. Basically it’s cognitive capabilities are nonexistent.
Kuuratsanikud kuuvalgel ööl
Rünno-Richard-Rein Kasepats-Kivimööbel
Starts out the list with ‘stone furniture’
Kivimööbel xd
All of them do. Estonians are just way to dumb to realize how stupid their surnames sound.

This is GPT 3.5, right? GPT4 does much better:
