HelpRe: Dalton
in reply to a message by Agata
I don't like it much. Too surnamey.
It ranked in the top 100 in the U.S. from 1994 to 2001, so I think it's become fairly common. Or at least it was for a while. It isn't used as much now.
I knew a pregnant woman who intended to use it for her child in 1998. (She was a co-worker and I left the job before she gave birth, so I don't know whether she used Dalton.) She had a rather long, difficult-to-pronounce last name. I thought Dalton sounded terrible with the last name. One of our other co-workers thought the name would give the poor child so much trouble that he said, "I hope he's a good fighter." But that seems overstating the case, to me.
