  A trendy "misspelling" of a masculine surname, Layton.

  Boy.
  

  Is that how you pronounce Leighton? I have been saying Lee-ton all this time.

  I knew a family with this surname, spelled the same: Leighton. I can't imagine it on any one. The family was pretty trashtastic and I think putting it on any child is next to child abuse.

  When I see it spelled out Leighton I think girl, but when I hear the name I usually think boy, but only bc the only Leighton is spelled Layton and he is a boy

  I always think boy, but that is because I know a little boy named Leighton.

  That is how I have always heard it pronounced. Not a fan. I would have thought Lee-ton (yuck on both accounts).
  

  The family I knew, the Leightons, pronounced their last name as Lay-tun.

  I really have no idea! It's very gender neutral to me.

  Woops, that came out wrong on my part. I was trying to say Lay-ton is the correct pronunciation and how I would say it ? but with everyone trying to be unique these days spelling Lee as Leigh it makes my stumble and sometimes say Lee-ton. **Corrected above response.
  

  Well that is so funny! I have a (male) cousin named Layton and I never realized Leighton was pronounced the same way.

  I have a student with the surname Leighton. Pronounced layton. I can't imagine it as a first name, but if I had to choose, I would say boy.

  Sorry, he spells it Lleyton...pronounced the same way though, but I still think of boy. I think outside the US it is considered a boys name...but don't quote me on that.

  It's a surname to me because of the painter Lord Fredric Leighton. But since it is pronounced like Layton I'd say boy even with the more feminine leigh spelling.

  It seems mostly to depend on the spelling

  if I saw Leighton  I would thing girl

  if I saw Layton I would thing boy.

  it sounds unisex though

  With that spelling I wasn't sure, but I think it is a boys name.  I like the spelling Leyton better though if it is for a boy.  The 'leigh' seems a little girlie.

  Haha, I know of a similar situation - same name and pretty trashy parents.  The son wasn't so bad though but it was only a matter of time before he broke.

  PS - I have full intentions of using trashtastic now!

  Boy. I've met one girl Leighton in my life. But FWIW, she was Mormon and LDS culture is known for "unique" names.
