Yes, I am familier with the puzzlement. Apparently there are women in the USA whose first name is Taylor. Where I come from, that is exclusively a surname. I believe I have also heard of women called Kennedy. That is a surname. Mine, for instance.

Still, not quite as "exotic" as Moon Unit or Dweezil.
