I am completely and totally in love with [name]Sutton[/name] if this baby is a girl. [name]Will[/name] she be called Slutton or variants of it when she hits middle school? I know any name has the potential for teasing, but this one may have more than just potential…
It’s really hard to predict if kids will be teased in the future because of their names. Though when I saw your post, “slutton” was the last thing I thought of when I saw her name.
Kids will always find something to tease one another about. That being said, I love the name [name]Sutton[/name]. It’s fairly uncommon, so I think it could be used for either sex. I am a fan of more “masculine” names on girls though (i.e. [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Blair[/name], etc.)
Here’s what parent’s connect says about the name: Nickelodeon Parents | Printables, coloring pages, recipes, crafts, and more from your child’s favorite Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows.
Unfortunately the name isn’t that common, so the stats are based off of only 10 people.
Yes any name can be teased, but some more than others…
Kids can make any name teasable. I love sutton and thinks it’s very pretty.
I actually would never have made SLutton out of sutton. If you ever nicknamed her Sut (don’t), she would probably get “slut”. However if she is always sutton, she won’t get it. Kids will find something to tease about. What about everly (everleigh), [name]Leighton[/name] (layton), [name]Sloan[/name], briar, avery, grier, blythe?
That’s actually a high possibility, in my experience.
Depending on where you live I guess, but at my middle school it would’ve happened.
I really like [name]Sutton[/name]!
I agree that every name can be made teasable really.
I love [name]Sutton[/name] for a girl! And agree with pp that every name could be teased.
I agree with the general consensus - all names have some degree of teasing potential. I don’t think that Suttion is especially teasable and I don’t think that Slutton from [name]Sutton[/name] is particularly intuitive. It never crossed my mind at least until I read your post.
I think of [name]Sutton[/name] [name]Foster[/name] before I think of “Slutton”. I also thought of “Button” before Slutton but I’m not in middle school these days!
Thanks for the input everybody!
I’m sorry but that is just an awful name for a little girl slutton was the first thing I thought of…sorry I just don’t like it
[name]Sutton[/name] is nms but I sort of like it, I never would’ve thought of slutton, if kids want to tease they will find a way whatever the name. If you love it I say go for it!
I think she’d only be called Slutton if she were actually slutty. Otherwise, I doubt anyone would ever call her that.
I like the name [name]Sutton[/name], but I think you’re right to worry about the possibility of teasing - unfortunately due to the obvious rhyme. Kids will come up with weird stuff no matter what the name - I was called [name]Daniella[/name] Patella. Can’t say it was very damaging, but they always think of something. If you and your significant other are on the same page as far as liking the name, I wouldn’t shy from using it! There are huge anti-bullying initiatives out these days, so hopefully by the time she gets school aged they will have put a lid on it. 
I’m with author in writing… I immediately think of [name]Sutton[/name] [name]Foster[/name] and I [name]LOVE[/name] her. Never made the connection to add an L in the middle, but I’m not in that kid teasing mindset I guess either.
It’s hard to say, because we can’t really predict the future or the kids she’ll be in class with. I would say keep it in mind and ask your friends and family for their opinions as well, but don’t let it put you off [name]Sutton[/name] completely.
To be honest, kids don’t really get teased for their names anymore (in my experience, I’m a teenberry). The kids I grew up with aren’t getting enough credit it seems; we were raised with much better manners than to tease about a name! Most kids will accept other childrens names, period… there’s nothing a child could do about another child’s name so why not just accept it?
Anyway, before I give a full on speech, [name]Sutton[/name] is a great name and although I prefer it on boys I think it would be a very nice name for either gender and I wouldn’t worry too much about “Slutton”.
