Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan. Peyton Place is the first thing that springs to mind.

Not keen at all. Sorry

Peyton & Byrne.

Awful, sorry.

Makes me think of Oliver Peyton, and there also is an American football star named Peyton Manning. So it doesn't strike me as a girl's name, or even as a neutral name.

I like it & think of it more as a girls name than a boys name.

It would be on my list for a girl although my dh isn't keen on it.

wasn't she a character in 'one tree hill'?

Like in One Tree Hill? Ugh. It's a surname. Surnames as first names are bad enough for boys but awful for girls.

I know a boy Peyton. Not my cup of tea personally, but it's your child. If you like it enough go for it.

TBH, I didn't like the name we used for DD that much to start with and it grew on me. Once she was born, there was no better name for her.

It's a ghastly name.

Have to agree with the general consensus. Reminds me of Paige - another awful name IMO

No. I love the novel Peyton Place but it sounds a little chav to my ears as a name.

I really like it, but thought it was Payton?

Horrid, reminds me of the nanny in 'The hand that rocks the cradle'.

Yuck. And yes, it reminds me of Paige too.

Though I sort of like Presley for a girl.

Netto beat me to it, I immediately thought of that film - not a good association I'm afraid!

Reminds me of Paige too. And of Courtney. It's one of 'those' names.

I've not heard it before. Sounds a little masculine perhaps.

The fact that I just found it on the 'unusual names' thread on Netmums, should tell you all you need to know...

It's a hilarious thread btw, if you need a laugh
