Surnames have been on the rise as baby names for a couple of decades now. The early generation saw surnames like Tyler and Blake for boys, Taylor and Morgan for girls. Those names are still used today, but they’re not as widespread as they once were.
 
Along with Taylor and Tyler, other surnames that rank as first names in the US Top 150 include Harper, Madison, Carter, Lincoln, Everly, Hudson, Colton, and Kennedy. Up-and-coming surnames near the bottom of the charts include Colter, Foster, Banks, and Ellison.
 
Surnames as first names appeal to contemporary parents and are elusively both traditional and new. If you’re searching for well-liked surnames to use as baby names for your son or daughter, consult our list of surnames from the US Top 1000, below.
