Law as a name?

My husbands grandfathers name was Law , not short for anything and that was in the 1900s! so I was wondering if it's too unusual to use, or I will be forever explaining or spelling it out? We really like it as we were wanting a short 3 letter name anyway....but ones like Leo Jed Ned are just not quite right ...

Have it as a second, so if he goes into policing/legal, he can rightly say ‘law is my middle name...’

Oo, but wouldn’t it be cool if they grew up to be a barrister or better yet, a judge!

Lawson with Law as diminutive

Nothing wrong with it as such and I like the family connection but I think you'd be making your/his life harder.

Confused it’s not really a name.
