How would you pronounce Leighton

[darcien]

Lee-ton or Lay-ton ? Thanks

Layton

Lay-ton

Layton

Definitely Layton.

Lay-ton

Thanks. Also, do you think girl or boy name?

Like Leighton buzzard or Leyton orient. I’d assume a boy

Layton although my name is leigh (pronounced lee) i would still say Layton

I'm girl so I suppose it could be either :)

I would pronounce it ‘Layten’ as in Leighton Buzzard?

I know one and he’s a boy.

It’s a branch of opticians where I live so I wouldn’t use it. But if you like it, go for it.

It's a Everton footballer in the UK I've only heard it used for boys, but think it can be used for both

Lay-ton. I've only met boy versions.

Very place name for me.

I don't think it works as a forename.

Lay-ton. I've met quite a few, all men.

I would say Layton too. My Aunt used to in in the Buzzard, so while it just reminds me of the town, I would imagine it’s more of a boys name than a girls.

Ley-ton

Very place name for me.

Me too. Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, and Leighton Hall hereabouts.

Lay-ton. I associate it with a girls name, like Leighton Meester.

Leyton Hewitt (obv. different spelling) is a male tennis player so I'd assume male too.

I'd pronounce it lay-ton. The only Leighton I've heard of is Leighton Meester so I think of it as a girls name.

Lay-tun. Knew a Welsh man called Leighton so it's a boys name to me.

Lay - tun. Like Leighton buzzard or Leyton orient.

I’d assume it was a boy if I saw the name written down, or heard it.

I would assume boys name (with football obsessed aren't).
