I definitely agree that two word names as a first and last combination is distracting and feels a bit more like a phrase than a name. It is unfortunate that surnames can partially shape (read 'limit') first name choices, but I think it is unavoidable no matter what your surname is. There are just some things that won't work well with it. With a last name that is a word I (personally) feel word first names are iffy if not to be avoided altogether.
That said, those people I know who have pulled it off (ie Barb Wiard) and are absolutely fine so if you really want to do it, don't let the nay-sayers stop you. If you love the name, go for it.
