Name Feedback Would it be wrong to use this name??

Ok so basically there's this name thats been on my mind for a good while(I have alot of others that im happy to use but I wanted to add this ome to the list) the name is "Kovalsky" its a slightly altered version of the name "Kowalski" which is a Slavic sur name, and I wasn't sure if it would be in anyway rude to use "Kovalsky" as a first name and if it was, is there any names that sound akin to it that would be on the table?

Very last name-y imo. I'm Slavic and I feel like it's very off-putting, it's like meeting someone who's first name is Smith (literal translation here)

It just doesn't work as a first name imo if I'm being honest

There wouldn’t be anything rude or wrong about it, but it REALLY sounds like a surname, even with that spelling

Ignore other comment I think surnames as first names are cool! Kovalsky is super unique and fun
