[Opinions] Re: Palmer?

[sorry - posted in wrong place!]
Usually, I dislike using surnames as first names unless they relate to actual surnames in the child's ancestry.
I also dislike using surnames such as Tyler or Porter because they're occupational, and the kid so named probably won't be a tiler or a porter!
But although Palmer means a person who returned from the Crusades with a palm branch, it can be interpreted nore widely as "pilgrim" so it actually gets my vote as a first name!
It's very pleasant-sounding.
