I've been fascinated by surnames lately and the hubby and I have came across plenty that we like but there are only a select few that we love. The common problem is that we have no middle names for any of them!

Presley

Fallon

Lennon (We would prefer this on a girl)

Crosby

Keaton

Quinn

Turner

Wilder

Beckham

Cooper

Flynn

Harlow

Holden

Hudson

Jolie

Collier

What do you ladies think? Which are more usable than others? Could you ever picture yourself using any of them? Any middle names that you think would fit any of them?

Presley- I love Elvis so this is my top pick, for boy mostly but could work for a girl
Fallon- Nice but NMS
Lennon- I think of John Lennon and Laundry
Crosby- Can't really see it working as a first or middle
Keaton- Nice but NMS
Quinn- Seems more of a first/middle now a days
Turner- Seems more wordy
Wilder- Makes me think of a word and Van Wilder
Beckham- I think David and Soccer
Cooper- Nice but NMS
Flynn- Seems more of a first name now a days
Harlow- Makes me think Harlot
Holden- Nice but NMS
Hudson- Makes me think of the river
Jolie- Makes me think of Angelina
Collier- Makes me think Collie


Others:
Paisley
Davis
Kingston/Kingsley
Bishop
Sullivan
Greyson/Grayson/Graydon
Grey/Gray
Parker
Gardner
Booker
Croix
Roux

I love Holden, Fallon, Lennon, and Harlow.
I like Wilder, Jolie, Beckham, Hudson, and Presley.
I am neutral about Keaton, Flynn, Quinn, Cooper, and Hudson.
I dislike Turner.
I hate Collier and Crosby

I could definitely see myself using the name Holden. I love it sooo much! It was between Holden and Ezra if my little one was a boy.


Other suggestions (all of these could be unisex):
Carson
Carter
Anderson
Brooks
Beckett
Jackson
Campbell
Lincoln
Miller
Tucker
Sawyer
Foster
Walker

I love surname names, they're just my thing (Archer, Cole, Roman, and Connor are all surnames!).

I think all of them are pretty usable, some are more my style than others though. I like:
Lennon
Turner
Wilder
Flynn
Harlow
Beckham
Holden

The others, its not necessarily disliking them as again just not my style. I dislike Hudson only because its very much a town name to me, and Collier makes me think of a puppy <3 Not sure why but it does haha. I know an adorable Cooper so it has a good impression on me, I'd love to see someone elses kiddo with that name I think Or maybe I do like it. I'm unsure haha!

I LOVE Quinn and Flynn as boys names! Also, Jolie is pretty cute for a little girl.
