wdyt of this name? Boy or girl? Like or no?

I am a teacher and have only ever had one student in our school named Afton that was a girl. It's NMS, but I can see where it is an appealing name for some. I don't think I would like it at all for a boy's name.

My close friend's daughter is an Afton. It's different, but I like it.

Sounds like a caftan... I don't like it. It also reminds me of the names of fabric blends, like rayon or Dacron.

In any case, I'd call it boy only.

NMS at all! For boy or girl.

I have a niece named Afton. She is gorgeous and spunky. I love the name because of her. I say it's all girl.

Never heard it before. Sorry, but I don't really like it. Reading it I see 'often' or think of 'Aflac'.

Sounds made up to me...but also NMS

I don't like it

bobbyme · January 2012

I am not sure what I think of it, either, tbh. I think it could definitely grow on me.

I'm surprised it's a girls name... seems masculine. Either way, not really a fan.

Behindthename.com does not have it... I'm surprised so many people on here know an Afton and I'm super suprised they are all girls - it sounds like a bad boy's name. Not a fan.

Oddly enough I have known two, both girls. I never really thought about it but it's not feminine enough for me, I don't hate it or anything, just kind of neutral.

I work with a girl named Afton-- I think girl.

KittyMarie219 · January 2012

Supposedly, its another boys' name turned girl name --

My niece is named Afton. She is gorgeous, spunky, and super athletic. It fits her perfectly. I would have never thought to use it, but I really like it because of her.
