HelpI'm remodelling my last name, please tell me what version you like best ?
My surname is Maschik, but I want to spell it either MASHIK or MACHIK.
What do you think ?
Any other ideas ?

I like Maschik the most. I'd keep it.
If you want it to look a little more Englishy, Maschick.
If you want it to be more likely to be pronounced MAH-shik rather than MASH-ick, Machik might do that.

Yeah I like Maschik the best but I like your suggestion of Maschick more than Mashik or Machik.

I see no reason for such an insignificant change. I would leave it as it is.

Honestly, I like Maschik the best. It has the most oomph and has a sleek euro chic quality. But, that was not the question, so ok.
If you're changing it to make pronunciation more intuitive (and if the pronunciation is what I think it is, "mash-ik"), I'd say go with Mashik. Machik might be turned into "Match-ik". Though Mashik might get "ma-SHEEK"....
OH! change it to MAGIC!!!! Everyone will know how to say it then!

I second changing it to Magic :D :D

I think you should leave it as it is. Maschik is the most attractive and disctinctive of the three names you mentioned.

Agree
What's wrong with Maschik?

I always felt like I was stuck with it, and couldn't ever really appreciate it, but you're right, there isn't anything wrong with it.

My last name is Homayouni, and when I was younger I hated it. Then I became a composer, and the name serves me well -- you couldn't pay me to change it. It sounds like a composer!
I almost took my mother's maiden name Rahn when I was eighteen. So glad I didn't. Brandon Rahn practically blends into the wall!

I love both of those surnames. I could imagine both Homayouni and Rahn working well as a name for a composer. Neither surname is common so they both stand out nicely.
I also prefer Maschik over the other spellings. Though if you were dead set on changing the spelling I prefer Machik over Mashik. Though none of them are bad spellings in my opinion.

I disagree. I find Brandon Rahn to be drab and too understated to stand out among composers. I really do.

I've never met anyone with the surname Rahn before so I feel that it stands out though you're right that Homayouni definitely stands out more.
