I appreciate it. I like that old, bygone-era image that it evokes. It definitely has a certain sense of history. It's a logical move akin to using a mother's maiden name as a middle name, IMO.
However! I think it's neat, but it's not close enough to my name style for me to actually do it.
I remember reading a series of books about a girl named Katie John, who was given her father's name because they weren't going to end up having more children or something like that.
