  They are nms, but I'd pronounce them the same. I prefer it spelled Leighton for a girl

  I would guess Leighton= lee-ton, but BabyNamesWorld says lay-ton. I know the other spellings are lay-ton. Those ones make more sense to me. Isn't Chiara a girl name? Layton et al are listed as boys names.

  They are all pronounced like Layton and are traditionally a boys name, but I could see it being used as a girl's name. Another spelling idea is Lleyton, but I think I like Leighton the most.

  I'm not a fan, but I guess Leighton for a girl. 

  (Layton isn't made up, though - there are 2 major streets in Milwaukee named Layton Ave. and Layton Blvd.  I'd guess they were named after someone's last name.)

  I actually really like the name/spelling Layton! We have a little girl named Layton in my extended family. In her case, it is a family name, so I especially like it.

  I have never heard of the name Leighton IRL so I'd say Lee-ton.

  I would pronounce them all the same way. Not at all my style, but I (by far) prefer Leighton.

  I like Leighton the best. I could see how people might think it is pronounced (Lee-Ton) My middle name is Leigh, and pronouced Lee, so that's what I think of. I do really like the name tho and the spelling is very feminin.

  There is an actress named Leighton Meister.

  The name is NMS at all, but if you are going to use it, please spell it "Leighton". 

  Leighton sounds classic and refined, whereas Layton sounds a bit "made up".
