Choosing the perfect name for your little one is a challenge for any couple. Especially modern parents who are trying to come up with unique names for their babies. A trend rising in popularity is using traditional surnames as first names for both girls and boys. This could be in reference to a maiden name, a relative or ancestor, or just a name both parents love! Surnames as first names have a classy and elegant, yet timeless feel that is sure to stand out among their peers.
I personally am obsessed with this trend for all the new baby names options it provides. And even better many of these names fit the gender neutral vibe that lots of parents love right now. While this list is geared more towards girls, many would be a wonderful fit for your little boy as well!
And with that, let’s get into the list of more than 100 traditional surnames that would make beautiful first names for girls!
