So in my hometown, there has been an epidemic of baby boys with -ton names, most of them decidedly awful (no offence meant to anyone, just my opinion) Examples like [name]Paxton[/name], [name]Ashton[/name], Lashton, [name]Axton[/name], [name]Braxton[/name], [name]Peyton[/name] etc etc
Are —ton names the new --aidens?? Has anyone else noticed a lot of these popping up lately??
Not here in [name]Britain[/name] as far as I am aware. Never met anyone with the names you’ve stated above - part from [name]Peyton[/name] but that was a boys surname not his first name. I agree that most of them are not very good or creative at all though i do have a soft spot for [name]Peyton[/name] / [name]Payton[/name] for both genders
I have definitely noticed this trend, I think it will definitely sky rocket with all sorts of new variations, but I don’t know if it will ever hit the same heights -ayden did.
I only know one person with a -ton name in my area. She’s an eleven-year-old girl and her named is [name]Peyton[/name]. I’ve seen a HUGE number of-ayden’s and -aelyn’s, though.
There aren’t too many of them where I live. I met a baby [name]Ashton[/name], and I personally love the name [name]Colton[/name]. That’s about it so far.
This name is totally different than the “ton” names. [name]Anton[/name] seems so much more like a classic to me, whereas [name]Peyton[/name], [name]Ashton[/name], Lashton (seriously?!), just seem so trendy and trying to sound cool. (Sorry!!) The only one I actually know is a teenaged girl named [name]Peyton[/name]. And a baby named [name]Colton[/name] … but that name also seems to not fit that trend for me. I guess my brand of judgment is uneven.
My niece once stated that it was a lot of [name]Colton[/name]'s, [name]Peyton[/name]/[name]Payton[/name]'s etc. in here high school, but beyond that I haven’t really paid any attention to it. I personally like [name]Colton[/name], for personal connection. But would never use it unless my last name changed. So I will just admire it on paper.
Lashton was the one that gave me the biggest what the… moment. I think maybe because [name]Ashton[/name] was born first, Lashtons mom needed to get more kreatif! (Very very small town, so these boys would be in class together throughout life unless the family moved)
