Sutton for a girl?

krissyh21

Sutton Leigh would be perrrfect!

If you have to add "for a girl" afterward then you already know the answer. Sutton is a boy name.

I 100% agree.

Whoooooaaaa, no way. It's masculine, and it's a surname, which make it into something I can in no way endorse.

This. LOL

I do not like it.

No for two reasons:

1. It's not a girl's first name.

2. I babysat for a family whose surname was Sutton, and I have bad macaroni and cheese covered memories from those kids.

I heard it years ago for a girl. I have never heard it as a surname or used as a boy's name. It's so interesting that everyone associates it as a boys name, I can see that though.

I love the Broadway actress Sutton Foster, so this has been a guilty pleasure name of mine for years.  Love it.

(And PS, I'm not generally a fan of boy names for girls, though my daughter's name and this reply may make it appear otherwise.  I just think of Sutton as a girl name- never met or even heard of a male Sutton.)

No. Dislike.

I normally hate boy names for girls, but for some reason I kinda like this one.  I have no idea why.

All this exactly.  I associate it with the actress Sutton Foster and I've only ever heard it for a girl.  I think of it as a girl's name.

sorry not a fan especially for a girl-- and I do like some masculine names on girls but Sutton just seems trying too hard to me..

BlueRidge8

It's a last name. 

oliveoil695

Thanks girls. I knew I could count on you for honest opinions.

Full disclosure, my girl is over 2 years old now and I did name her Sutton. I love her name even more now than I did when she was born.We knew going into it that it wasn't for everyone. You have to be open to that when you pick an unusual name.

Much as I like and admire Sutton Foster, I strongly dislike it in general.
