Baby names

Overdue and still not agreed on a name

6 days late and we are still undecided on what to call this baby. We both really like Leighton/Layton (and it seems quite apt - late 'en!) but our surname is C romp ton? What are people's thoughts?
Also on the list we have:
Milo
Archie
Ellis
Frazer

Our other children are Scarlett and Flynn

I think Leighton/Layton is quite nice but I prefer all you others.

Love Milo and Ellis

Hmm not too keen in Leighton /Layton tbh, esp with a surname ending in "ton".

I much prefer Ellis or Fraser (prefer S rather than z spelling) and think they go well with your other names too.

I think Leighton C rom pton is too much.

Ellis gets my vote.

Love Scarlett & Flynn too!

I agree with others that Layton doesn't work. My choice from your list would be Archie or Frazer.

My son was Fraser (much prefer s spelling) until my mum got wind and declared that she thought it was chavvyConfused. Should have stuck to my guns, it's a great name (and my mum is unreasonae)

Milo and Ellis are excellent.

Layton is dreadful, but even more so with your surname.

Agree that Layton doesn't go well with your surname.

Like Ellis
Really like Fraser
Don't like Archie

Thinking about what might go with your other names...What about:

Blake?
Leo?
Leon?
Elijah?
Lorcan?

Sounds like a village. Ellis C.... does a bit too. Sorry. Archie goes well x

Fraser or Ellis.

Not so keen on Milo, Archie or Leighton.

Leighton is awful on it's own, combined with your surname it sounds like the next project after Milton Keynes was completed.

Frasier is great, and Ellis is cool. Don't like Milo much, Archie is awful.

congratulations! I have a Scarlett and just love it as a sibset with Flynn.

My favourite from your list is Fraser, I am not keen on Leighton but personal choice.

We plan to have Jasper for Ds which matches well with Scarlett and Flynn.

or Joel was Scarlett's name of a boy. hope you're doing well OP. do let us know when you name him.

No he is still nameless. Thanks for all the comments, my best friend has an Elliot so can't use that. Husband wants Archie, daughter wants Milo and I am leaning more towards Ellis although I really like Arlo.
