I have a Franklin, which a lot of people think is quite American and presidential, but is actually an old English name meaning free man.

Agree that there is a lot of snobbery on mumsnet about surnamey names, which I haven't really encountered in real life.

Stuart, North, Grey, Russel, Stanley, Primrose, Eden, Heath, Blair, Cameron, May Wink

Some of our PM's surnames can quite easily pass as names either used as a first or even as a middle name lol.

I have a Sullivan. Given that he was born on St. Patrick's Day it seemed fitting. Not that odd given the amount of Quinns, Rileys and Raffertys that are around either.

His big brother has a surname for a first name too. Some people love them some people hate them.

I'm one that loves them.

On this board, I see a recent trend for typical Irish surnames as first names, for both sexes. Recent posts I recall include Quinn, Reilly, Rafferty, Sullivan. I find it very odd.

I also hugely dislike when people give surnames ending in -son to girls. It seems to suggest they haven't thought it through.
