Thompson is my surname. Unlike other surnames-turned-names, which are short and sweet (e.g. Jackson, Harrison, as mentioned above), I think it would be better as a surname. Naming a child, for example, "Thompson Smith", sounds like a hyphenated surname when said out loud.

I know an insane family with this surname. Bad, bad connotations.

I love this surname turned name. I think of Thompson seedless grapes and cute men in overalls and Thoreau's Walden Pond. Ah, all that a name can convey to us!
