Turner?

MariahJean

Thinking of using Turner as our second sons first name.  Our oldest is named Hayes.  What do you guys think?  Husband is up in the air about it.

I think it's funny because the only Hayes I know as a last name of Turner!

I think they go together very nicely.

RedCardinal

Not a fan of Turner as a FN. My first thought when I said them together was Turner and Hooch. 

Other Suggestions:

Reid, Porter, Harrison (Harris), Henry, Cooper, Spencer, Owen, Sullivan, Niall, Brooks, Bennett, Dean, Rhys, Nolan.Declan, Griffin, Grant.

I really don't care for that name. I think RedCardinal gave some great suggestions!

I've just heard all of those names before.  I don't want my son to go to school and have other kids with the same name.  I like the trend of last names or surnames as a first name.  They aren't so out there that no one has heard of them because they are commonly heard as a last name, but unique enough.  Like Brooks, etc.  Also, I feel they are masculine for boys, you know you all hear your husband and his friends refer to themselves by there last names, because it's manly, lol.

Same here!

ETA: Not just because of Turner...but because of the T and H in Turner and Hayes (like Turner and Hooch).

Are you considering Brooks? Because I like that a lot more than Turner. 

MariahJean

No, already know a little boy named that.

Turner is my last name. I wouldn't use it as a first name. I also think of Tina and Turner & Hooch.

Other surnames as first names

Lawson, Duncan, Dunn, Ellis, Evans, Miller, Maddox,

Do you have any cool surnames in your family? Like a maiden name?
