I work at a retail store, and yesterday a woman in my line kept saying, "Peyton, can you run back and get me another one of these? Peyton this. Peyton that." So finally I see Peyton, and it's a little GIRL. So casually I'm like, "Peyton, how do you spell that?"

Paiton.

I really didn't even like that name to begin with.

Also, the Hayden/Jayden/Brayden trend is hitting the American bases here hard, and I saw one of these victims yesterday (Hayden). He was probably 7, and the thing was, he looks like he'll probably grow up to play guitar and think he's tough and wear hxc t-shirts and paint his nails black (he just had this look), and he'll have the name Hayden. It doesn't seem right to me. Then again, what stereotypical teen would any of those names work on?

I like it better for a girl than for a boy. I don't mind the spelling, but I prefer Peyton.


Hayden to me is either the tough guy you described actually, or a prep. Very different, I know, lol.

Jayden is white trashy - so a white trashy kid, lol. Brayden is very Harvard to me lol
