Surname names!

[Katnissx]

Anyone else a big fan of names which could also be a surname?

For example- for a girl we like Darcy, and for a boy we have Cole on the list. We're due a surprise baby in December but can't decide on a boys name!

So hit me with your best boys 'surname names'! 😄
(Nothing too popular please) xx

I really don't like Darcy and Cole is only ok if the surname is Porter and you are a prolific songwriter.

I have a Taylor.. He is 25!!

Not necessarily my best but some ideas.

Cole for a December baby would have me internally chuckling. What did you get for Christmas this year... Coal.

I dont mind surnames as first names, but do think it tends to work better for boys. Taylor in particular is lovely.

I have a bailey

We came sooo close to having a Chester! I adored the name all through my pregnancy but backed out last minute as I couldn't bear the thought of it being shortened to chezza! 🤣

Chester
Henley
Taylor

Fletcher
Cooper

I have an occupational surname which is a fairly popular boys’ name (and features in a pp above!) which might prejudice me but I don’t like occupational surnames or ‘son’ names as first names. I do think some are better than others though - I’m not a fan of Cole (I just think coal = bad) but Douglas, Owen, Simon and Fraser from those listed above are lovely. I also like Gregory and Murray. I think you have to be careful with names that sound too much like surnames otherwise the full name sounds like a law firm

James

Tate
Ryan
Oliver
George
Blake
Thomas
Owen
Lewis

I just tried to search for the name popularity database to see how popular some surnames are as fns but couldn't find it..... I'm sure it was called dark greener or something, has it disappeared or have I got the name wrong anyone?
