Hamilton is a bit formal but I think that lends it a touch of dignity rather than making it stuffy or unusuable. :-) I think it has a very nice sound to it. Plus it's quite familiar; I don't know a person who hasn't heard it in some capacity, so it doesn't have that "completely random" feel to me that other surnamey names might. It reminds me very much of historical figure Alexander Hamilton.

As a matter of interest I know a sibset of Heather, Harrison, and Hamilton (the boys are twins, and to add to the theme they all have their mother's maiden name as a middle name--yikes). Hamilton goes by his entire name and seems to be getting along fine with it.
