Comments for the name Smith

Comments for SMITH:

Considering that Smith is the one of the most common surnames in the United States right now, having a child named Smith Smith would be just bad. Smith's a cool name, but I just think it's a better surname than a first name.

It's only the most common English surname, and an occupation as well. It makes for a terrible first name. At least Taylor sounds like a first name.

With all the surnames becoming first names I am surprised that this name hasn't came back in style.

I can't believe someone would ever name their child this. As a last name, ok, but as a first name never. No wonder it totally died out after the 1920's. I hope it never comes back. That's horrible.

I really like the idea of this as a first name but it will only work with a few select surnames, and you can call him Smitty which is always fun.
