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 Peyton for a girl, but I think I'd rather it spelled Payton. Not too different from the traditional spelling, and to me it looks less weird than Peyton.

And I absolutely love Hayden, and I'd totally use it for a middle name if it wasn't for the fact that my future last name will start with an H, and that's a no-no for me.
