Do you like "Clayton"?

CanadianGurl · November 2009

Do you like Clayton for a boy? What does it make you think of?

soon2Bmrspower · November 2009

Yes

Yes, I love it! I have great associations of 2 people that I know named Clayton. DH wouldn't go for it because the nn Clay reminds him of Clay Aiken. That thought had seriously never even crossed my mind. Oh well!

I knew 2 Claytons in high school, one went by the full name and the other by Clay. I like it. It makes me think of a nice, gentlemanly guy.

I went to elementary school with a Clayton and he was a huge bully so it wouldnt work for me.

Clayton is a little rednecky IMO ... just nms ... and the only Clay that I ever met was at a trailer park when we went to visit my uncle and his gf.

Not a huge fan and I really don't like the nn Clay.

GulfCoaster · November 2009

I think of an old man (recently passed away) that I knew with that name. He was a real Southern gentleman, so that's the association the name has for me.

Yep. It was in our top 5.

I like it although it reminds me of Dallas (Clayton Farlow).

ValentineBB · November 2009

I don't mind it. Just be prepared for everyone to call him Clay.

I like Clayton. I went to HS with one, and he was very nice.

future_mrs.lambdin · November 2009

It makes me think of a local trailer home dealer called Clayton's.

KatieintheCity · November 2009

I like it, but NMS. It makes me think of a southern/country boy, but not in a bad way.

ReiszsPieces · November 2009

LOVE it. I've wanted to name my kid that since I was a kid myself. Makes me think of Awesome.

jacodi · November 2009

Not really.

renafaith · November 2009

My cousin's name is Clayton and goes by Clay. I like it a lot.

nestinginjapan · November 2009

yes, I do. it doesn't make me think of anything (I don't know any Claytons but I had a friend named Clay), but I like the sound of it!

DFZ21 · November 2009

I love it. It was on my favorites list if we were having a boy. Now we know we are having a girl and I have to switch gears!

sunnyday016 · November 2009

I like the name itself, I just have a personal negative association with it.

FutureMrs.Steen · November 2009

No, I don't. I really dislike Clay

Ick, that is what it makes me think of. Definitely NMS and it doesn't go with Cooper very well.

Yes! My dear friend named her son Clayton "Clay" Charles and his an adorable boy with a strong, classic name that suits him perfectly. My former boss was also named Clayton and he was one of my favorite bosses. Good name!

mgrulke · November 2009

I love it!!!!!!!!! It reminds me of two things a cowboy and the movie and book Spencers Mountion. I want that for my son someday and I would call him Clay, but DH doesn't, oh well.
