Alton?

[allthoseyears]

I’ve never heard this name before! (Friend’s daughter is thinking of it.)

Do you know any Alton’s?

Towers

Town in Hampshire

Oh I never even thought of Alton Towers! Now I’ll never get that out of my head.

I thought she’d meant Elton at first, but no, definitely Alton.

I've heard of Alden, could that be it?

Towers came straight to mind.. sorry. At least if living in the UK, it would be cruel to name your child Alton imo.

Towers, sorry!

Not Alden as I asked her to spell it because I though she was saying Elton in a funny way lol!

Yes, living in the UK. I shall mention the Towers thing, perhaps it hasn’t occurred to them either!

I know a Dalton but he's a boy!!

How risqué is your friend? Maybe she conceived at Alton Towers!!

april its not timothy dalton is it?

Oh sorry, it is for a boy! When I said “friend’s daughter” I meant she is pregnant, having a boy!

Sorry for confusion

I instantly thought towers too I’m afraid. Let’s hope he isn’t tall...

Ha no, a lass I know vaguely has ds's called Easten and Dalton.

At least their surname isn’t Towers!

I can’t believe I didn’t think of that 😬 but I’ve never been so it’s not familiar to me.

Towers was my first thought too. Closely followed by the town.

Towers was my immediate thought.

I have taught an Alton in the past so she isn’t the first to ever come up with the name. I don’t love it but you get used to names after a while so it doesn’t sound like an odd name to me!

Towers?
