To me this just seems like a strong name. If a man has this name he must be a beast. The guy I became friends with on the Appalachian trail with this name is a tall, strong guy who packed a lot more than what was necessary, earning the nickname “Sir Plus”.
It sounds like a redneck name. And the nickname Clay is just as dumb, who would want to be called something that is so similar to dirt? When I hear this name, I picture someone who wears a cowboy hat, has a hick accent, and chews tobacco. Ugh.
I can't stand this name. It's ugly and way too surnamey. I find the name Clayton dumb, odd and weird.

Actually, I've changed my mind about the name Clayton. I don't find it ugly anymore. This is quite a cool name. :)

It's a really cool middle name, but a very ugly first name.

I love this name! It's absolutely gorgeous and masculine! I love the nickname Clay, too. It makes me think of a quiet, intelligent, and very handsome cowboy.

I'm not crazy about this name, but it's not bad. The thing is that it reminds me of Adam Clayton from U2, and while I don't know the guy, I sure don't like U2. Also, the name is a bit surname-y.
