Yes actually.

My aunt has been very creative with this.

Her mom and dad have the last name (her maiden name) of Parker, and she named one of her sons this as a first name.

She has done this with other names too. Like way back in the fam was the last name Sawyer, and she named another one of her boys that!!

It can be done just use your imagination and don't be scared to try somethin new!

Yes two actually.

Taylor was my friends maiden name and they gave it to their son.

Lanen was my other friends maiden name and they used it as their son's first name as well.

I guess it depends on the last name.
