Paisley, Paris, Peyton
Which one for a girl, and why? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Paisley. Paris reminds me of Paris Hilton, unfortunately. I know there are a lot of other literary and historical associations with the name, but she comes to mind first and I don't want to think of her every time I say a kid's name. I have never liked Peyton. I don't understand the appeal of most -ton names. Paisley, while silly, is cute and sweet.

ParisI prefer Paris on a boy but I abhor the other two choices for a female.

I dislike them all, but Peyton seems like the one I would be able to live with the most.

Paris, simply because it sounds the prettiest to my ears. Paisley is cute and I love the pattern, but it doesn't sound as nice. Peyton is just downright horrible to me, sorry, but it's one name that I see no appeal to at all.

Peyton because I've met a nice one, and Pæga's actually pretty cool.
Paris sounds neato but also like a wuss.
Paisley sounds really ugly and shrill to me.

I don't like any of them, but if forced I'd pick Paisley. At least it's not Paris Hilton and there's much less confusion over whether Paisley is a girls' or boys' name.

I’m going with Paris. I recently met a girl with the name and I liked it despite the Paris Hilton connection.

Paris. I dislike it less than the other two. It's kind of pretty and interesting. The sound is unusual and elegant. Paisley is my second choice. Peyton just totally sucks.

Paisley all the way. I love the pattern, and also the Scotland connection.
I don't like many place names as people names. Paris is one of them.
Peyton makes me think of the soap opera, Peyton Place.

Hmm. I actually don’t mind Paisley or Paris, in this set.
I positively hate Peyton, tho.I suppose I’ll go with... Paris.Side note, I know if a sibset that seems very odd and mismatched to me. Adeline, nn Addi, Lucy, Ezra, and Peyton. All girls except Ezra. Does anyone else think this is odd?

Now THIS is a hard one…I'd go with Paris. It does remind me of Paris Hilton unfortunately, but also the marvelous city. Paisley sounds childish and reminds me of fabric, and I've just never been able to wrap my mind around Peyton, especially for a girl.

Paris.Peyton and Paisley are whiney surnames.

I'd have to go with Paris. It more like a name than Paisley, and not a surname like Peyton, therefore, I hate it less.

Well, eliminate Peyton and Paisley, which is a kind of cloth, with pattern, and you have Paris.
I would prefer Parise, but I could live with Paris.

Paisley for a girl is probably my one and only GP: I've always liked it and since the only one I've ever met here in South Africa has it as her mn, I've got no associations at all.Paris and Peyton are unsuitable as fns for any carbon-based life form.

Paris.I don't even care about Paris Hilton. She's a nothing, and I've liked the name since before she was born. Literally.Peyton is nmsaa - as a girl's name I think it's downright bad, and I don't like it on a guy either.
Paisley is meh, nms, would not use. But I don't loathe it. It's just a little too fluffy seeming for me, and I'm not into the trendy ZLEE sound.

Peyton. I don't like it much but it sounds spunky, for lack of a better descriptor. I can't picture a grown adult named Paisley and Paris makes me think of Paris Hilton and people who buy mass-produced art of the Eiffel Tower.

Hi Billina !!!I choose Paris for sure!! I absoloutly love that city and I like this name both with French and English pronounciation. After that the Mythological prince...wonderful.The name is totally unisex as Paris (city) goes for males and females equally plus it is masculine because of the prince.
100% unisex
- 60% masculine
- 40% feminine
..this is just me of course.Paisley 2/10 surnamey. I much prefer Parsley (the herb)Peyton 2/10 surnamey, too modern, place-name from an obscure name (Pæga) with an unknown meaning. I much prefer Python.

Peyton, because I dislike it the least.Paris is a weird combination of masculine and prostitute-sounding to me. Maybe a male prostitute? Paisley is too cutesy on anyone older than 4. I'd consider it if it were a family name, but for me it's not.
