HelpRe: Dalton
in reply to a message by Yellow Rose
Yeah, it's like Hudson and Ashton and Payton ... another trendy surname. NMS. Not terrible; dignified - but doesn't please me personally. I think I'd be likely to say it Dal'n since I spent 14 years in Texas, and .. eh. I don't like names with glottal stops. They sound slicked-up to me.
Reminds me of the SI unit for large molecular weights (scientists speak of the size of protein molecules in "Daltons" and "kilodaltons"). But that's specialized ...
Reminds me vaguely of the word "dolt," and that is what puts me off it the most.
Reminds me a little of Walton, too, like the Waltons ... which I never watched, but it gives me a "white/bread Americana" impression of the name. Not in a bad way, but it's something to say about it.
My rating (so you know I am not totally trashing it, despite my negativity): 5/10, which is better than Isaiah, Atticus, or Cooper.
