This is a which do you prefer, not a do you like them. If you hate the names, please don't say so as it's just not nice when she is going to be named one of them, so just say your favourite or not at all please :) thank you!

I prefer Peyton if you live in an area where the T won't be dropped (really like Peyton), but if you need to err on the side of caution, then Madison.

If I had to choose I'd go with Peyton as I like surnames for first names for either sex, and Madison is fairly popular both sides of the pond I think.

Congratulations on your daughter!

Peyton sounds nice if your accent lends itself as in, you don't have an accent you drop t's for.

Madison is a safer option.

Neither are my style of name at all. I'm going to put forward Cooper as another suggestion as you seek to like surname first names.

FastWindow So do I. Grin I'm very conscious of it, and have to make the effort to pronounce things "correctly".

FastWindow · 25/08/2017 01:19

superb I haven't pronounced an 'ing' for 20 years, and I'd say 'correckly' - not a T in sight.
I can rite good tho Wink I was disgustingly private school. My parents are dreadfully disappointed Wink

Really like Maddison. There's a Payton in DD's class but her mum has a strong London accent and drops the 't' so it doesn't sound very nice.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 25/08/2017 01:36

Maddison.

MakeItStopNeville · 25/08/2017 01:42

Doesn't Cooper mean Barrel Maker?! Just the image you want of your new born daughter! Grin

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/08/2017 01:44

It does Makeit but it's really no more odd than Parker etc, if you favour surnames as first names

Sophronia · 25/08/2017 02:21

Madison if I really had to pick.

WanderingTrolley1 · 25/08/2017 02:27

Madison, if absolutely no other choice in the world.

Glumglowworm · 25/08/2017 06:58

Definitely Madison

chips4teaplease · 25/08/2017 06:59

No comment, then.

Madison

MammieBear · 25/08/2017 07:50

Madison says splash to me from 1984, very good film so for that reason Madison.

ilivebythesea · 25/08/2017 07:51

Peyton. More unusual than Madison.

Loopytiles · 25/08/2017 07:52

Madison.

Mulch · 25/08/2017 07:54

Madison, maddie for short. Did people not read the post? Nothing nice to say don't say anything ext.

Sleephead1 · 25/08/2017 07:55

Personally i prefer Madison but are you happy for her to get Maddie? Where i live Peyton does not sound nice with our accent so would depend where you from, do you have the local accent as sometimes if not you dont realise how people from the area will say the name.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 25/08/2017 07:58

Sapphire?Wink

Salmonpinkcords · 25/08/2017 08:35

Madison

Turquoise0wl · 25/08/2017 10:03

What's wrong with some of you?

I prefer Madison Smile

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/08/2017 10:22

Peyton.

Threeandabit · 25/08/2017 10:27

Madison is my favourite of the two.

There is also the name Madigan which you might like.

Happy choosing, op. Smile

lenaleave · 25/08/2017 12:11

Peyton reminds me of the restaurant chain. Madison is ok - reminds me of James Madison :)

Lemondrop99 · 25/08/2017 19:15

Madison

I'm not keen on American names personally and Peyton sounds very American to me. Also sounds a bit too much like Paignton
