Smith

I thought of this the other day. So common yet people would be caught off guard because it's rarely used for a first name. Do you think it's cool or weird? I think I like it but my husband would never go for it. Also our last name is a first name. So that's kind of funny.

I like most LN turned FN but not Smith. It's too much a LN for me

I think it's cool but I would never use it. It seems like something a charcter on a movie or tv show would have. Maybe a soap opera lol

My immediate association is with a character from Sex and the City. Smith was one of Samantha's boy toys, if I remember correctly.

Aside from that, I really dislike it as a FN. There are plenty of other LN's that have successfully made the jump t

i think it's neat! i really like brooks, which is the same style. but with your LN being a common first name? that might actually be a deterrent. you might always have a son who's called Ryan Smith (as an example) rather than Sm

I have never heard of Smith as a fn.....I think it is fine if it is a family name or family last name. Kind of odd if it is not. I have seen the last name as a first , "Klein" on a boy ,"Stone" on a boy and "Olsen" nn Olie on a GIRL!

That sounds like you are trying way too hard with the surname thing. Plus, people won't know which is

I personally don't like it-- sorry!

scooterpie7 · March 2013

I don't like it, particularly with a first name-ish last name. I just don't think its a particularly nice sounding name either, for a first name. Especially if you have a kid with a lisp!

But then, I don't really like the whole last names as fir

PinkLillyLover · March 2013

NMS. I agree pp, it will cause confusion as to which is the first and last name.

Smith Jared.
No!!!

OP, you think it'd be "funny?" That's not funny at all. Your kid will have to correct people all the time when they think the name is reversed.

I don't watch sex and the city. I think I just like the actual name smith, like how it sounds. But most people would probably not like it I guess! My husband would never go for it anyway. We chose Wesley. . . The only one we could agree on. But I was curi

I don't think it's horrible but I could only get behind this name if it was a family name. I actually know two people with this name. One is a little boy and Smith was his mother's maiden name and the other was actually a woman in her twenties and Smith w
