Having an ancestor's surname as a christian name is obviously useful in following family lines and can provide useful pointers.
Having come across Love as a surname (7114 of them in 1881 and well spread across the country) could Love as a forename indicate a family connection, or is it a christian name in its own right? (In 1881 there were 344 instances).
If used as a middle name is that more likely to be a naming after an ancestor?
