To be honest I can't say I am a fan of the surname as first name trend, and for some reason I think if it's chosen for one child then their siblings' names should be like surnames too otherwise it could look a bit odd. Works better for boys' names too.

Taylor
Tyler
Piper
Blake

It's a Scottish tradition too.

James
Harrison
Fergus
Mackenzie
Fraser
Innes

There is a mumsnet hatred of the surname as a first name thing. It's a tradition in many parts of the country. Boys that I knew at school in Scotland had names like Bryce, Bruce, Kirk, Lawson, Wilson, Allan, Campbell, Cameron, Forbes, Murray, Maxwell and Nelson.

I met a Donald Mcdonald once and yes lots of scottish names can be surnames frasier is another one

I taught a William Williams once. Poor kid used to prefer to be called Tom.
