I have a friend who is dead-set in love with the name [name]Payton[/name] (or [name]Peyton[/name]) for her future daughter but the husband doesn’t care for it at all (he is not a fan of [name]Manning[/name]). I have been giving her other name options to consider starting with ‘P’ but I think what she is most in love with is the “ay” vowel sound. What are alternative names that still sound similar/are remniscent of what attracts her to [name]Payton[/name]?
[name]Patience[/name]? A very different vibe, but very similar in sound. I’ve been really coming around to [name]Patience[/name] lately.
[name]Paisley[/name]
[name]Pacey[/name]
[name]Paige[/name] / [name]Paget[/name]
[name]Perry[/name] / [name]Perrie[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
Some more unusual ones containing the -ay- sound. Included some really unusual ones from the P section.
[name]Bay[/name], [name]Ceylon[/name], [name]Ismay[/name], [name]Fable[/name], [name]Mabry[/name], [name]Maeve[/name]/[name]Maeva[/name], [name]Maple[/name], [name]Millay[/name], [name]Mireia[/name], [name]Reina[/name], [name]Rain[/name], [name]Phaedra[/name], Peitho, Pleione, Poppaea, Rheia, [name]Timea[/name].
[name]Reina[/name], [name]Ismay[/name], [name]Phaedra[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name] are my favourites. They have some of the same spunky quality as [name]Peyton[/name] 
[name]Paxton[/name] is the best one I can think of!(:
I love the suggestions of [name]Paige[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Raina[/name]. Also, how about [name]Esme[/name] (pron. EZ-may)?
I think [name]Paisley[/name] would be the closest.
Some P names:
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Presley[/name]
[name]Paloma[/name]
[name]Panthea[/name]
[name]Pandora[/name]
[name]Paulette[/name]

[name]Long[/name] -a sound and somewhat unisex/surname-y

[name]Caitlin[/name]/[name]Katelyn[/name]
Cambridge
[name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Hayley[/name]
[name]Lacey[/name]

[name]Macy[/name]
[name]Regan[/name]
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]Taylor[/name]
[name]Long[/name] -a generally (I mean, there are lots, here are a few that come to mind)

[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Maisie[/name] or [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name] or [name]Sarah[/name] nn [name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Just[/name] reminds me of [name]Payton[/name]

[name]Anniston[/name]
Lexington nn [name]Lexi[/name]
[name]Remington[/name] nn [name]Remy[/name]
Good luck to your friend!
[name]Paige[/name] was my first thought. It starts with a P, has the “ay” sound, and has the same surname/unisex style.
[name]Payton[/name] to…
[name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Skylar[/name]
[name]Kendall[/name]
[name]Darcy[/name]
[name]Taryn[/name]
[name]Teagan[/name]
[name]Talin[/name]

[name]Tansy[/name]
[name]Cassidy[/name]
[name]Cedar[/name]

[name]Rayna[/name]
Sayen
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]Ainsley[/name]
[name]Roisin[/name]
[name]Shea[/name]
[name]Sian[/name]
“AY” names:
[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Kay[/name]
[name]Elaine[/name]
P names
[name]Petra[/name]
[name]Parker[/name]. I think twins named [name]Peyton[/name] and [name]Parker[/name] would be cute (boys or girls).
[name]Clayton[/name] immediately struck me as a possibility, as did [name]Freya[/name], Gracen, [name]Daya[/name] and [name]Maisie[/name].
Good luck!
