I don't like it, sorry.

aGirlDownUnder1 · 10/02/2014 06:14

Sorry I don't like it. Their was a murderer called Clayton where I live and it's put me off ever since.

Clayton Talbot. Bullied my brother at preschool 40 years ago. Name still haunts. Hate it.

Morgause · 10/02/2014 05:47

Claytons are often the stupid ones in American films. Hate it.

Madamecastafiore · 10/02/2014 04:43

Having to stuck my fist in my mouth not to be really mean.

It's vile.

NadiaWadia · 10/02/2014 04:29

Why? Clayton is a middle aged American blue collar worker or postman (mailman?)

There is nothing nice about it at all. Please give your son a proper name.

' Huh huh. ' . . .reminds me of the Simpsons character cleatus.

As long as your surname isn't West.

I once worked with a Clayon, handsome chap but sorry, don't like the name

rusmum · 09/02/2014 17:50

I don't like it at all, but who cares what other people think, it's what you and your partner think that matters!

I met a baby Clayton about 7 yrs ago & I didn't like it then, either (sorry). I keep thinking of the annoying hunter in the modern Disney Tarzan movie.

Don't think it'd be easy to be too mean. It's truly bloody awful. And a small village on the outskirts of Bradford.

Nice as a last name. Not great as a first name.

MmeMorrible · 09/02/2014 17:39

I used to work with a Clayton. I wouldn't use it as name, he was mercilessly ribbed for it by his colleagues in what was quite a formal working environment, and I can only imagine it must gave been much worse at school.

WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 09/02/2014 17:38

I know of a few grown-up Claytons.

One prefers to go by the name Clayt because he hates his name.

alemci · 09/02/2014 17:38

Clayton Farlow in Dallas - Howard Keel. Makes me think of a grey old man or an American. sorry hope I don't sound mean :)

500internalerror · 09/02/2014 17:36

Clayton Farlow; was he out of Dynasty or Dallas?

Bluestocking · 09/02/2014 17:33

Dreadful beyond belief. And that's pulling my punches.

Rommell · 09/02/2014 17:33

I've never heard it (as a first name) before but now I am hearing it I think it's great. Puts me in mind of the nice kind of preppy all-American schoolboy who gets on with everyone and is good at sport but not an arsehole about it. A name for a winner, in short.

NickNacks · 09/02/2014 17:31

I don't like it at all, I'm sorry.
