followed by a surname as a second name

Well, I've met at least one first-name Harrison. Oh, and there's Harrison Ford. It's perfectly acceptable as a first name, anyway, as it simply means 'son of Harry' (or variants thereof).

In England?

The US have strong form on using surnames as first names. Obviously it's now becoming more common here too.

Billy Connolly used to have a whole routine about the surname-as-firstname brigade. It's long been an upper class thing.
