What do you think of the name Miller as a first name for a boy?

My husband thinks it is the greatest thing ever but I am not sure how I feel about it...


Edit: Thanks everyone for your responses!!! :)

It's too last name/occupation for my personal taste, but I definitely don't hate it.

I'm pretty meh on a lot of occupational names, but I absolutely love Miller, for some reason. I have a feeling it would make a lot of people think of beer, though.

The first thing I thought of was the beer, but I think the name is kind of cool

I definitely think of a last name. It's not something I'd ever consider or think twice about for a first or middle name.

I don't like names like Cooper as a first name, but I don't mind this one so much for some reason. I do like the sound of it. I think it would depend what your last name was.

Also, I would be thinking about potential nicknames, considering that Milly/Mille, and therefore (maybe?) Mill are kind of feminine names. In my eyes, anyway.

My mom calls moths Millers. Needless to say, I cringe when I hear the word Miller.

It's a last name. It sounds pretentious as a first name, imo. But it could be worse.

My first thought is "last name" and then the occupation. I also think of the beer, haha.
I really don't like it.

I think it's decent as a first name. Just don't be like Matthew McConaughey's brother, who named his son Miller Lyte (no joke).
