First name adjective, Last name noun?

mm&es · January 2013

LO's future last name is a common noun, like Ball. For that reason, I always stayed from first names that were also adjectives, like Violet, or other nouns, like Daisy.

I really like the name Hazel, but just recently realized that its also an adjective! Would you think it was strange if someone's name was Hazel Ball? Its not a normal adjective-noun combination like Hazel Eyes, but still descriptive. Thoughts?

Eh, as long as it's not offensive, I wouldn't think much of it.

I think it will totally depend on the combination. I went to school with a girl named Summer Frost and I always thought that was a weird combo.

I have the same problem- my last name is a noun. I try to stay away from adjectives. My last name is a synonym for country, so lots of adjectives end up sounding like a religious awakening.

Lol I went to school with a Summer Day. Buy yeah as long as the first name doesn't describe the last name it's fine. Like Grey Ball would be weird

I'm sorry but I don't think the first name Hazel jives with the last name Ball. Might just be me though.

I feel like I only really think of Hazel as an adjective when it comes to eyes. I love the name and I think it could with a LN like ball.

This. Some combos sound fine other are silly. You'll have to try them out.

I know a Summer Flowers and a Paige Turner

Anyway, I agree. And although some of the intentional adjective-noun (or, in the case of Paige, noun-verb) names are kinda cheesy, to me they sound better than odd, random ones like Hazel Ball.
