Way too surnamey. Not every surname works as a given name, and this is a prime example of that.

This name is perfection. Love it for both girls and boys. 10/10. The meaning is bland, but the name itself has a beautiful ring.

What kind of warped mentality must a parent have to inflict this name on a child? So dumb and so pretentious at the same time. It's a surname, so that's strike 1. It's a servile occupation, strike 2. It advertises your lack of culture and desperation to be thought of as some sort of elitist, strike 3.
