Surnames as first names

[JessieDoops]

Suggestions?

I know that surnames used as first names often doesn't go down well on MN, but I actually do quite like it.

Any suggestions?

Cooper
Jackson
Hunter
Carter
Harrison
Ryder
Archer
Austin
Asher
Hudson
Mitchell

Addison
Mackenzie (unisex)
Paige
Piper
Harper

Madison

Benson
Jensen
Jefferson
Wilson (there was a boy on 7th Heaven with this as a first name)

I also think names like Watson or Jones could work on the right person.

Harrison
Clark

Brent

I have a Miller. However it is a family name and has been used in DH's family for generations as a middle name, so it's certainly not a new new thing.

I also like
Carter
Cooper
Parker and Ryder.

I had a great-uncle Watson, born in about 1915, so it's definitely not a new thing. One thing to watch is how it flows with your surname, though. There's a baby in our family along the lines of Jackson West, which sounds more like a firm of estate agents than a person.

Fraser
Jackson
Harper

I love the name Sinclair x

Certain surnames are now acceptable as given names, e.g. Tracy but most are unacceptable as first names. It's perfectly normal, however, to give a child his/her mother's surname as a middle name. My friends, whose surnames were Lindsay (hers) and Miller (her husband's) gave their son the name Lindsay as a middle name. I think that was a good idea since if he wishes to drop the name Miller, he still has his mother's surname to use.

My Nephew has just been called Mason , thats getting popular too .

I wanted Taylor for a middle name for my dc its my last name but we didn't choose it in the end.

Marlowe

Harvey was origininally a surname before it became popular as a first name

I worked with a Ramsey which I always thought was nice

Some of these names I think of more as first names than surnames.

I like:
Taylor
Mason
Robson
Murray
Owen
Avery
Mitch(ell)
Forbes
Brady
Parker
Kennedy
Astor

I wanted Edison or Darwin for DD if she'd been a boy

Harrison
Colby
Fallon
Marshall
Mckenzie
Chase

Just be aware that for a good few years (school!) your child will be called the other way round as well... my BIL says he was always called his surname as it is a first name too...
I love Austin off those names and Flynn
