Re: What are your favorite surnames as first names?
Surnames aren't used as first names in Sweden (actually it's usually not even allowed), so many surnames-as-first-names sound strange to my ears, but there are a few I like:Adair
Barnaby
Marlowe
Sacheverell
Wyeth
and perhaps WashingtonAs a child I liked Sinclair. And Park for a girl.Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

I usually don't think of Adair as a surname since it is a form of Edgar, but the line between first names and last names can be blurry since many surnames were derived from first names.
