Baby Names

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.

Re: Smith

  • 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!  

  • I don't like it.

    I think Smith Jared from SATC.  And that was his made up stage name.

    I vote no.

  • 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

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

  • 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
