I'd say LEE-tun, and boy.

[fatinah-aila.livejournal.com]

Lay-tin
absolutely, boy

[mela-chan.livejournal.com]

lay-tun, and either.

[stummyflies.livejournal.com]

laytin; girl

[lovetokate.livejournal.com]

Lay-ton. I like it for a girl but would never personally use it.

[skittles22088.livejournal.com]

Lay-ton. And definitely only for a boy... because of my favorite TV show Diplomatic Immunity. =]

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Layton. It's a girl's name to me, thanks to Leighton Meister. I quite like it, actually, but not enough to use it.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Layton.

To me, Leighton would be feminine and Layton would be masculine. But I hate it either way.

[farting-nora.livejournal.com]

I would say it like Peyton with an L instead of a P. I don't like it for a boy or a girl. The spelling looks feminine, but the name sounds masculine.

[janenx01.livejournal.com]

Layton. And it's a last name, so either, as long as it STAYS A LAST NAME.

[night-sky-dream.livejournal.com]

Layton. I think it works as both, knew a boy in school with that last name and now I think of the actress Leighton Meester.

[unmowngrass.livejournal.com]

LAY-ton. And I think it's a boy's name. A posh boy, admittedly, but a boy none the less.

[monkey-fruit.livejournal.com]

Layton, boy.

[bitty1721.livejournal.com]

I would say Lee-ton and may I just say that that icon rocks!

[thellamaqueen.livejournal.com]

LAY-ton, and I like it better on girls.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

LAY-tin/ton
The first time I heard the name it was on a boy from high school. It was years before I ever heard of it again so I think of it as masculine. On the pronunciation thing, the T usually wasn't enunciated so much. It was more like LAY'tIN The t almost gets dropped. It's hard to explain. Anyway, I think the above is the proper, non-lazy way of saying it.

_{leighton meester pronounces it like l8n. i think it's unisex.}

[winninghearts.livejournal.com]

lay-ton. and girl, because the only person i have ever heard with it is leighton meester.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I know it's LAY-ton, but LEE-ton makes more sense. And girl.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

I'd say layton, but anything with a ton sounds like a boy to me.

I so hate the eigh.

[eeangel44.livejournal.com]

I want to say Lay-TUN but I know of it being said Leigh-TUN. I think of a girl when I hear it said Leigh-TUN and when said Lay-TON I think boy. I think girl I would spell it Leighton and boy Layton.

[bambiblake007.livejournal.com]

Lay-ton
girl

[luvahs.livejournal.com]

Layton. Boy, spelled like that it's very feminine tho like others have said. I'd never use it though because of a place known for it's donuts around here =]

[breenah.livejournal.com]

Layton, girl.
It's what I'm planning on naming my (far in the future) daughter.

[cassandrakfreaq.livejournal.com]

layton I know a family whose kids are Lanita (g), Laverne(b), Larwin(b), and Layton (b)

[julia-michelle.livejournal.com]

This.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Lee-ton. And I'd say awful and androgynous but if I had to pick, boy. *shudder* The --eigh spelling does make it look really girly though.

[murderprotocol.livejournal.com]

lay-ton. The only Leighton I've ever known was a boy so I consider it a boy's name. Having said that, thanks to Leighton Meester, I don't mind it on a girl.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Lay-tin. That spelling, girl.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

LAYtin. Boy.

[kort-ni.livejournal.com]

this exactly

[chillinbabejodi.livejournal.com]

This exactly.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

Lay-ton. boy name or trendy girl name
