WDYT of Peyton for a girl? Has been growing on me lately.

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

flopsy1974 · 23/05/2011 13:45

Not keen at all. Sorry

iskra · 23/05/2011 14:27

Peyton & Byrne.

BatFlattery · 23/05/2011 14:28

Awful, sorry.

Xiaoxiong · 23/05/2011 14:30

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.

serendipity16 · 23/05/2011 14:38

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.

daisybear · 23/05/2011 14:41

personally think its awful....sorry!

pinkhebe · 23/05/2011 14:42

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

EricNorthmansMistress · 23/05/2011 16:17

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

seeksnewnamewithgsoh · 23/05/2011 16:19

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.

DELHI · 23/05/2011 17:30

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

Pancakeflipper · 23/05/2011 17:35

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

virginiasmonalogue · 23/05/2011 17:36

I really like it, but thought it was Payton?

NettoSuperstar · 23/05/2011 17:38

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

mathanxiety · 23/05/2011 17:38

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

mathanxiety · 23/05/2011 17:39

Though I sort of like Presley for a girl.

FessaEst · 23/05/2011 17:43

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

MeantToStopAtTwo · 23/05/2011 21:17

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

ShoutyHamster · 24/05/2011 09:22

No no no

shoobidoo · 24/05/2011 09:41

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