I've never liked it for a girl. It seems very masculine to me. I think it's much better suited for a boy.

As for spelling, I prefer Peyton for a boy. Payton looks somewhat more feminine to me, so for a girl, I prefer Payton even though I don't like it for a girl in general.

I'm sorry but I have never liked it for a girl. I don't find it the least bit even though I know a really cute little girl with the name.

Strongly dislike both Payton & Peyton, for either gender. For boys, they sound too close to surnames (not to mention towns) for me to consider as a first name. And for girls, they are all that, plus too masculine.

Funny thing is, though, I read in a study a while back (that I think was posted here) that women with masculine-sounding names tend to be more successful in the workplace than women with more feminine names.

Terrible. I can only think of Peyton Manning, who is a very masculine football player.

I like both Peyton and Payton for boy and girl. I don't think I would use them at the moment but they are definitely growing on me the more that I see them. I'm not sure which spelling I prefer, I pronounce them both exactly the same and think they look/sound unisex.

Peyton is one of my most hated names for a girl. Sorry!

It's bad taste IMO, I hate it lots, sorry. The e spelling isn't better, it's just slightly less bad because it doesn't evoke payment.

My boyfriend lurves Peyton for a girl, and I'm slowly starting to like it too. I prefer Peyton.

It really surprises me that both Peyton and Payton are in the girls' top 100. Even though I like Peyton, that makes it less attractive to me. I'm not put off by popularity ordinarily, but this bugs me. I feel the same way about Zoe/Zoey, Sophia/Sofia, and Aubrey/Aubree.

Hate Peyton. Payton's even worse.

Peyton is a surname and an ugly one at that.

---

There are the football player brothers and one of them is Peyton/Payton. I hear about them all the damn time thanks to some football followers on my FB.

---

It doesn't sound nice.

---

The imagery is chalky and ugly.

---

The meaning is lame.

It was used in "One Tree Hill" (a horrible, horrible show) for a bratty blonde and that's all I can think of now. Even though I didn't even watch the show!

This name makes me frown. It sounds to upper classy snooty. I'm just going to stop now. It's so bad.

I can't make up my mind about Peyton.
It's just one letter away from my surname (not Payton) so to me it sounds very surnamey. I don't mind Jackson, Mackenzie, Hunter or other surnames though, but since it's so close to my own I have a hard time accepting it as a FN.
But, if it wasn't so close to my surname, I would probably have liked it a lot more.

Gun to my head, I would say Peyton for a girl and Payton for a boy. I really don't care much for it especially on a girl.

I want to like it, but it reminds me too much of Rebecca De Mornay's character in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle". She was Peyton, and she was cray-cray.

Can't stand it, sorry. Either spelling.
