I don't generally care for surnames as first names -- especially when there is no familial connection. The thing about surnames (occupational surnames in particular) is that often the meanings are odd for first names (Cooper, Tanner, Taylor, Tyler, Parker, Carter, etc.). Bailey means 'bailiff.' Again, imo, kind of odd as a first name. Obviously, I'm in the minority here (maybe not on this site but in general). Many people love these names. I don't see the trend ending anytime soon.
