Interesting. I've never heard of that. I think my hypothetical future son would kill me if I gave him my maiden name as his first name...
I think some of the "older" names (Emma, Sophie, etc) are very attractive and distinctive. Others (Edna, Thelma, etc) are just cruel, the kid would get teased.
Then there are the popular names, whatever the hot name is that year, which I think just leads to confusion... there were six Laurens in my 200-member high school class. Some of them went by their last names!
