Baby Names
Any last names that make cute first names?
I am almost due with a little GIRL ,and would love some suggestions of last names that would make cute first names .They can be unique, trendy or have a masculine meaning i don't mind I just DON'T want any that are too crazy and don't sound like a first name at all. I know not everyone likes this type of name , but can you just list some you think are cute,or ones that you have heard,or ones that are popular right now or any you can think of.Thanks!

Quinn
I can come up with a ton of boys names for this (sullivan, brady, Grady, Jackson etc) but Quinn is the only girls name that is also a last name that is coming to mind. I like the name Quinn but my dh doesn't because it is a last name.
This. DD's name is my mom's maiden name, and my SIL's name is her mom's maiden name. I'm not really a fan of using random surnames for either sex; I think it's much more meaningful if you have some kind of connection to the name.
Suggestions - Arden, Adair, Avery, Bellamy, Britta, Callaway, Campbell, Cassidy, Darcy, Darby, Delaney, Emerson, Fallon, Hadley, Kiernan, Piper, Madigan, Marlow, Monet, London, Leighton, Paige, Riley, Sydney, Sloane, Waverly, Winter, Whitney

Most of these are NMS but I thought I would give it a try!
BFP#1 11/12/11 ~ No heartbeat 12/12/11 ~ D&C 12/19/11
BFP#2 3/25/12 ~ Heartbeat 141 4/16/12 ~ No heartbeat 4/25/12 ~ D&C 04/30/12
BFP#3 7/16/12 ~ EDD 3/26/13 ~ It's a BOY ~ DOB 2/26/13
I love last names as first names, unfortunately, DH doesn't agree.
My favorites for a girl are Campbell and Kennedy. Other last names I've heard and like as first names are Taylor, Leighton, Sloane, Blaire, Harper, and Piper.
BFP #1 5/12/12; EDD 1/20/13; Eliana Grace born 1/25/13
BFP #2 12/11/13; EDD 8/23/14; M/C 6 weeks
BFP #3 4/3/14; EDD 12/13/14
Like others said, I think it's better when a family name is used. Unfortunately for me, most of my family names don't really work as first names.
Here are some that do work: Hadley, Taylor, Harper, Parker, Kennedy

About me 2007: Started TTC. 2008: OB prescribed clomid, went to RE and was Dx with PCOS. 2009: IUI #1 w/follitsim and trigger = BFP. B/G Twins born at 33 weeks. 2012: TTC #3, Round 2 of Letrozole w/TI = BFP, missed m/c at 8 1/2 wks. Currently on the bench as we make plans for a new home. Anxious to start TTC #3 within the next year!
....but I'm biased.
I don't necessarily like last names as first names, unless they're family names.
My last name is Britton and people have been using it as a girls name. It gets a big thumbs down for me, but I guess if it's your taste go for it.

I actually know a girl named Marsh. It was her mother's maiden name.
OP, other girls I've known with last names as first names include Britt, Merrill, Hollis, Steadman, Holt, Tate, Stuart, Campbell, Ellis, Carson, Yates, Raines, Somers, Dare, Massey, Neely, Norris, Lisle, Llewellyn, Hunter, Darden . . . I seriously could go on and on because family surnames as first names are really big where I live. But the key is that all of those I listed above are actual family names. Please, please use a name that has significance in your family!
