I honestly think that surnames, while they may sound nice, should be used only when the name has a relation to you. If you name your son Hemingway because you love the author: cool! If you name your daughter Katherine Collins Lastname because Collins is a family name: cool! But I dislike people naming thier children surnames for the way they sound. Maybe I'm a purist or just weird but I think it kind of de-values the name itself. Family names are things that are an honor to have. It's a piece of history and heritage that you are given and to just pick a ramdom surname for it's great sound and give it to your child cheapens it IMHO. So for you, Glass Angel, I think that's great!
