59 famous last names that make adorable first names

We’ve covered everything from raindrop baby names to words that make great names, but what about last names as first names?

It turns out there are a lot of famous last names that make adorable first names for babies. 

Why consider a last name as a first name? If one parent has changed (or is planning on changing) their surname, using their maiden name as a first name can be a special way to keep a family name alive. The same can be said for last names that appear further down the family tree that you want to celebrate.

Or, maybe you don’t need a reason at all! Perhaps you just like how the name sounds and that’s okay too.

Of course, not all surnames will work as a first name, but there’s a lot that do!
