Pretty trendy, really, IMO.

Thoughts?

I love Sutton!!! That's the name i want to use but it isn't my hubby's favorite.

I like Sutton, no to Collins... Collin is just fine.

These names fall into the "fancy soap opera name" category for me.  If I had to chose I would pick Sutton.

BTW-- love your DD's name and she is a doll!

Thank you!  I heard Sutton on some CW show (can't remember) and then Collins was on the "Blindside" movie.  Both girl names.

I am not 100% sold on either.

First thought is they are both boy names.

Collins they ruined perfectly good Collin.

Sutton ( I actually have a friend with a little girl Sutton, It is also my MIL's married name) I don't like the name at all, boy or girl, but if used should be a boy.  My DH thinks in high school she will get sluttin.

i kind of like collins ever since i heard it in the blind side. i dont know if i would use it, but it's not bad. sutton is ok too. they do seem on the trendy side, but are way better than most trendy names!

Hate both on a girl, could tolerate Sutton on a boy.

I don't like either. Collin is ok, but Collins? No. Either on a girl is just bad.

Totally NMS, especially on a girl.

I must admit that Collins is a GP name for me ever since Blind Side. I wouldn't use it, but I do like it.

Love Sutton

Both of these names sound really masculine to me.

I didn't even think about that (and we had tossed around the name Sutton). I definitely prefer Sutton to Collins though.

Both make me think boy but I could like Sutton on a girl as well.

I do not like Collins. Reminds me of the drink.

Not a fan of either.  Collins just reminds me of Collins mixer.  And Sutton is just too out there for me.

I wish I could have a vodka collins right now!

Sutton is NMS and Collins is okay. I lean toward Collin when I say it, but I don't dislike it

Sutton - Like it.

Collins - Hate it! I prefer Collin.

Sutton Place is a historically upper-crust neighborhood in NYC.  So I'd give someone named this the side-eye; their parents were clearly trying too hard.  It's like naming your kid Harvard or something.

They work in double names.  I know an Ann Collins.  Mary Sutton would work, too.

I think both are terrible for a girl.

Yup

I think why are you calling them their first and last names?

I know a couple of Suttons and a couple of Collinses, all girls--and all family names.  I love both names if they are family names.  If they are random surnames you have no family ties to, I really dislike them.

This.

They are both last names.

Pick a first name for his first name.

This. I would expect either to be your maiden name, etc. Otherwise, it's just weird to pick someone else's last name.
