    My surname is also a male first name, so when Harrison was born, the hospital and paed got his first & last names muddled a few times until I corrected them. I haven't had any issues since and Harrison is 2+5 months now.
    I absoultely love the names you have chosen!!! Harper William is definitely my favourite.

    I really like it - I know a McKenzie who has her mothers maiden name and so many little boys with traditionally surnames as first names and they are all such strong, manly names kwim? Mostly around here it tends to be Mum's maiden name that they use which I think is a lovely thing to do and would have liked to do it too had my maiden name not been such a doozy LOL

    My cousins kids all have surnames as first names - Hunter, Mackenzie, Cassidy and Lawson!!! and my other cousin used her maiden name for her son's first name and her DH's mother's maiden name for the middle name- end result Connor Giles!!!

    Good luck

    Someone I know also used their maiden name for their first son's name. I don't see a problem with it.

    As long as you don't use the last name as a surname AND a first name, I don't see a problem LOL!

    Lisa, we had a similar problem, our last name is a male surname, and Jazz got called a boy and our last name and we had to correct them so many times.
