Help[Opinions] Re: What do you think about using last names as first names?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
I don't have strong feelings. I think you have to be mindful that the name sounds workable as a first name in the culture the child will likely grow up in. In practice in an English speaking country, I think that mostly ends up meaning that only English last names get used as first names.
I'd have used a family surname (Woods) as a first name if my husband was on board. Instead it is my child's middle name. Other family surnames can even be a pain to deal with as a surname and would simply not work.
