Turns out Lytton Strachey's real name was Giles:

He was named "Giles Lytton" after an early sixteenth-century Gyles Strachey and the first Earl of Lytton, who had been a friend of Richard Strachey's when he was Viceroy of India in the late 1870s. The Earl of Lytton was also Lytton Strachey's godfather.[1] The Stracheys had thirteen children in total, ten of whom survived to adulthood, including Lytton's sister Dorothy Strachey.

How would you say it? L-i-tton or Lie-tton ?
Not even sure if it's a boys name or a girls name! Sorry not keen.

I like it, and also like Lyndon.

It's a place name, isn't it?

Not good for round here - glottal stop country (can't do t's) would be pronounced li-hin or summit worse - not nice.
