Answer 1

First names in English are usually unique words, that is they aren't formed from words in the dictionary.

Native American (i.e. American Indian) names are typically not like that. When they're translated into English literally, the result is often names just like "Green Field". Because of this, if you were to use "Green Field" (which you are perfectly free to do, of course) it might remind a native English speaker of a Native American name. (Not necessarily bad, but it would stand out.)

Many immigrants to the English-speaking world keep their name in their native language. You could do that, but if that's no fun, you could just look for a boy's name in English that you particularly like and adopt it. Try looking here: http://www.world-english.org/boys_names.htm

Be aware that many names in long lists like that aren't that commonly used (or "modern-sounding"), but are still English-style names.

Answer 2

It is a fine family name. Greenfield is a conventional English family name.

As a given name it would only be appropriate if you were substantial acreage with a green tinge.

Answer 3

It would be good for a surname, but not as given name. For most english speakers, your given name comes first and then your surname, so you could be Joe Greenfield, for example.
