I've only heard this as a surname and I'm not exactly a fan of using surnames as first names, Madison, Addison and Tyler being prime examples of why I hate it. Can't say I like Shaw either. To me, it sounds genderless and irreparably surname-y.

This name is short, easy to say, and is one of those surname names that is rising so quickly in popularity. What's not to like?
