WDYT for a boy?

Hopefully this makes sense...my best friends cousin's name is Dalton. He's 10 now, and I had never heard the name until he was born.  It fits him perfectly, and now I really like the name.

Is this a family name for you?

If no, then nms - personally I'm not a fan of names sounding as though they ought to be family names, when they aren't.

NMS it sounds like a guy who should be a nascar driver.

LOVE IT!

I like it. It's a name most in the South have heard of. I know two Daltons, both of who live in Louisiana.

I don't care for it.

I think it's fine.  FYI it is a unit of measure (molecular mass), so the first thing I think of is that. If your kid ends up being a scientist it will be either a super cool or super nerdy name. I'm a scientist so I think it's cool

I knew a Dalton growing up and all the girls thought he was pretty good looking.  Not that that helps you name your child.  I dont personally care for it because it sounds a little southern.  But, it is unique, without trying too hard, and if you like it I would say go for it!

Dalton is the name of the fanciest private school in NYC so it sounds a little pretentious or wannabe waspy to me.?

Ditto this. Unless he's going to be selling carpet from the giant Georgia carpet outlet in Dalton, NMS.

I'm not a fan. It reminds me of the bookstore B. Dalton.

TXTwisterBabe

I like it! But then again I'm a huge NASCAR fan

catycombs

If it's a family name, yes.

TXTwisterBabe

are you an "Eagles" fan?  They have a song called Doolin Dalton

jsillyfun

It's not really my style, but I don't hate it either.
