Whether or not stealing a baby name someone else has laid claim to is ever OK is often a heated debate in online parenting forums.
But guys; we are being too hung up on first names. What you should be doing, is looking for someone’s really fabulous last name and take that for a first name for your baby. No-one is going to give out to you for nicking their family name as long as you use it for a first name, we reckon.
Step 1: Look for interesting surnames that could work as first names. Step 2: Go to TOWN. Step 3: Have the coolest kid in town.
Want to know some of our favourite last names as first name names? Here you go:
1. Presley
Stealing The King’s last name, you can’t do better than that.
2. Cassidy
Yes, it’s absolutely a last name, but also a great first one.
3. Harrison
And just think; you can call him ‘Harry’ for short.
4. Anderson
A very common last name in Scandinavia (although, often spelt with an ‘en’ ending over an ‘on’ one there), we think this makes for one great first name too. Just think of Anderson Cooper…
5. Florence
Or Flossie, aka the cutest nickname ever.
6. Perry
We LOVE how unisex a first name Perry could be.
7. Maxwell
Just try to say no to a sassy little lady named Maxwell.
8. Davis
A slight twist on David—this one feels traditional, yet fresh.
9. Grady
Seriously, doesn’t last names make for the cutest first names?!
10. Elliston
How regal.
11. Egan
Snag it before someone else does.
