Will Smith is an American actor, perhaps best known for his starring role as a fictionalized version of himself in the beloved sitcom, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.
Dear all the people who are saying this is just a surname, It is not. Not to mention, if your name isn't Smith then your opinion just doesn't count. As a fellow Smith, I like my name a lot and know my opinion is actually valid. Smith out!
My last name. Its boring-ness is balanced by my more unusual first name. But honestly, it might be boring, but it could be worse. I went to school with a girl whose last name was BUTT.
I don't know why people hate on this name, it's a very popular surname but not a common first name, it sounds manly and it suits a kid as much as an adult. Give this name a chance.
It's really not that bad - it's kinda cool. To me, it gives the same vibe as Jack; manly but simple. I wouldn't use it but I totally could see a kid named this.
I'm surprised this hasn't come back into use, considering the trend of using surnames as first names. Hm, maybe the spelling will be changed to Smyth to make it more feminine, because using a y always seems to do the job. Haha, totally joining. This is hilarious.

I really like the idea of this as a first name but it will only work with a few select surnames, and you can call him Smitty which is always fun.
I can't believe someone would ever name their child this. As a last name, ok, but as a first name never. No wonder it totally died out after the 1920's. I hope it never comes back. That's horrible.
Considering that Smith is the one of the most common surnames in the United States right now, having a child named Smith Smith would be just bad. Smith's a cool name, but I just think it's a better surname than a first name.
