I think if you were sure it was her surname it would be okay as a mn, esp. if she's really important to you. My brother goes by Rosie (I don't know how he spells it) as a nn from our surname, so I don't particularly find it a problem to use a surname/girl's name on a boy. However, I wouldn't use it if I wasn't sure or it was just to replace another name that didn't seem to work. (I agree about the double -in sound ending.)
