It's a trend I am kind of ashamed to be a part of, but I can't really help it: surnames as first names. What are your favourites?

Beckett
Hudson
Jackson
Slade

I'm not sure that I'd really consider Asher to be a surname-as-a-first-name. I think it's one of those like Maxwell or James that could really be either.

The only one I can think of is Jackson, but I'm sure there are others I Wouldn't mind (but wouldn't be like "MY FIRST CHOICE!!!!!") hah.

I like Spencer, but (no offense) it seems too trendy for your tastes.

I like Griffin and Dean, though.

I actually don't think Brennan/Brendan is too trendy, haha. Spencer just seems to be. I've seen it used a lot the past few years and it just...I don't know. The style just seems trendy.

I like Brennan and Brendan, though.

I like Porter, Parker, Carson, Griffin and Spencer. My maiden name is Bennett, so I totally wish I liked that, but I don't.

Beckett - all i think of is David Beckham or whoever you spell his name
Hudson to me = the Hudson River here in New York
Jackson I really like
I dont know why but I always hated the name Slade. It makes me want to say Slate and start naming rocks or something lol

My fav surname is Carter. I love it.

I kind of like Lennon. But that's about it. I can't handle surnames as first names. It bugs me.

I don't like the trend, the only one I've sort of marginally liked before is Bennett, but I don't really like it anymore.

Someone mentioned Cassidy - I briefly liked that once too (when I was 14)
