First name or middle name?

OH like the name Claymore for a couple reasons and its slowly started to grow on me.
[name_m]Reason[/name_m] one: [name_m]Clay[/name_m] is a family name that he would like to see passed on.
[name_m]Reason[/name_m] two: His family is Irish and the claymore is an “Irish” sword. His parents actually have a claymore and family crest on the matle.
“[name_m]Reason[/name_m]” three: It’s “awesome”

As a first name its definitely not my normal style but it really doesn’t seem like it’s that different from other boys’ names floating around right now and there’s always the nickname [name_m]Clay[/name_m] to fall back on.
As a middle name it seems just the right amount of different but not too out there however I feel like I’m hiding away the name and the reasons behind using it.
What do you lovely berries think? First or middle?
