I love this name for a girl - but is it becoming a bit well-thumbed? I'm sure there have been a few slebs giving their babies this name.

Surname sounds quite a bit like the author of Fever Pitch and High Fidelity's... so it goes pretty well together.

Opinions?

I think it's in the same bracket as Mackenzie, Logan, Morgan etc - surnames that have been used as girls' names, tho' I don't understand why. A bit 'trying too hard' and will probably date, too - sorry.

Too surnamey for me, sorry.

It's a surname.

For a forename it's awful imo, especially for a girl. Sounds like Harpy. Not nice.

Cool. It's going on the list, probably right to the top.
