Help[Opinions] Re: Peyton....(eta)
in reply to a message by AnnaMarie
I agree with Andromache, sorry.
I'm so sick of surnames as fns. If they come from your own family tree, then I see the point. But otherwise it is just another plastic, trendoid, dime-a-dozen name. I just don't see it wearing well over time.
Sorry I couldn't be more up-beat. Isabella is nice, if overly used right now. For what it's worth "Peyton Isabella" flows nicely.
Could you elaborate more on why you like Peyton for a girl? I'd like to know. Is it the idea of a more masculine sounding name on a girl that you like? Is it just the sound of it, or something else that I'm missing?
ETA: Years ago, before I started doing these boards, I toyed with the idea of Kinsella for a girl. So I do get the attraction of other people's surnames, sometimes. And I still love Cameron for a boy. It's just seeing the overwhelming number of surnames used right now that bugs me. They are all starting to sound alike to me. (I just wanted to confess that.)

I can totally see where you're coming from, though I guess I just happen to like surnamey names... Although, this is the only one I like for a girl, most of my surnamey names are boys (ie. I love Jamison & Sullivan...)
As for why I like Peyton, I couldn't really say... I guess I just like the sound of it.
I think it's interesting that you find it very masculine though, both my partner and myself think that's its quite feminine and thus we'd never use it on a boy. Generally speaking - I can't stand masculine names on girls!

I totally agree with this. "Plastic" is a good word for it. :-)
