What do you think of 'Cash' for a boy??

My DH and I both like the name Cash, but have gotten a lukewarm response from Family. Is this too trendy for a future CEO or Artist? We are fairly conservative.
The middles names will be John, Robert or Cory....Adams.

If it weren't for the late Johnny Cash, I would vote for either John Cash or Jonathan Cash NN Cash...
Robert Cash would work too. Or pretty much anything with Cash as MN. Not Corey though - that is just too singsongy with the double C's/K sounds.
I actually like the idea of using Cash as a first name, but I totally understand about wanting a slightly more conservative and traditional first name. My husband is pretty conservative whereas I am more of a free spirit. But when naming children, I prefer traditional sounding first names (our DDs are named Kathryn and Natalie) and slightly "offbeat" middle names (their MNs are Liesl and Rowan, for example).
It seems a little too "Las Vegas" for me.
I think of "cold hard 'cash'", and Johnny Cash, and casinos, gambling, gunslingers, gigolos, and mobsters. I'm really sorry, I just don't see this working as a given first name. As a nn, it's GREAT! but not a given name. I think it's too...presumptuous in a way, too. And...I don't know it just sounds like the name of someone that would be a little pompous. But as a nn it's great.
Best of luck to you!
My advice: if you and your DH can agree on a name, who cares what anyone else thinks? My DH and I can't agree on any girl names and it's so frustrating! I say go with Cash if you both like it. :)
