HelpDalton
Dalton has all the "trendy name" criteria... 2 syllables and an "on" (an, in, etc.) ending... akin, Ashton, Aidan, etc.
I hardly ever hear/read it being used. What do you think of it?

I like the name Dalton. It really depends on what middle name you use, though. I normally don't lean toward 'trendy' names, but it's a nice name all in all.

It lacks a long vowel in the front. "Dal" isn't as fun as "kay" or "bray" or "hay" lately.
It's also a huge GP of mine, I think it's incredibly handsome and sophisticated sounding. This is probably largely due to the scientist.
I know a kid named Dalton. He's about my age though.

I don't like it much. Too surnamey.
It ranked in the top 100 in the U.S. from 1994 to 2001, so I think it's become fairly common. Or at least it was for a while. It isn't used as much now.
I knew a pregnant woman who intended to use it for her child in 1998. (She was a co-worker and I left the job before she gave birth, so I don't know whether she used Dalton.) She had a rather long, difficult-to-pronounce last name. I thought Dalton sounded terrible with the last name. One of our other co-workers thought the name would give the poor child so much trouble that he said, "I hope he's a good fighter." But that seems overstating the case, to me.

I hate it. But I hate most two-syllable "-on" names, and most surnames.
I do know a kid named Dalton, though. It's not unused.

I know a kid named Dalton, actually. He's about seventeen, and he's got a twin brother called Jordan.
Sometimes some names just don't catch on, even if they would theoretically fit a trend, I suppose.
