Keaton...

I heard the name for a boy today on the television this morning. At first I was like "What was that?" then I listened closer and the host was talking to a boy named Keaton. I sat and thought about it for a moment, and the more I think about it, the more I like it! I like it because it is very uncommon here where I am, I have yet to hear a child of the same name. The only other problem would be to run it by my DP and see what he thinks, and also find a suitable middle name!

Any middle name suggestions to go with "Keaton" would be greatly appreciated!

Let me all know what you think of the name!

Keaton Garrett (my fav combo I think)
Keaton Landon
Keaton Patrick
Keaton Gage

I like the sound of the "Kea" part but the "ton" part just rubs me the wrong way.
It also makes me think of Alex P. Keaton but no doubt by the time the kid grows up no one will make the connection to Family Ties

It makes me think of Family Ties, but I like it! I enjoy boy K names.

Reminds me of Alex P. Keaton. I don't like it because it sounds like a surname and it sounds like a lot of other trendy names out there. I'd pair it with something classic - James, William, Samuel.

It also reminds me of Family Ties. Haha.

It's an okay name, I guess.

I think it's an ugly surname.. one that a person is better off not using unless they have a sentimental connection to it.
It sounds harsh, and unattractive.

Way too surnamey.

Way too Alex Keaton and Family Ties.

I think its adorable, and it would be on my list if not for my megatrash neighbor having a son with the same name... and one named Remington. Yes as in the gun.

I really, REALLY don't like it. It's a surname, and not even a nice one at that. Bleh.
