Fenton was my father's first name. He was born around 1920. When he went into radio broadcasting after WW2 his radio name became "Gregg." It became my middle name in 1946. I didn't give it to either of my boys, so I don't know if it will show up in the family again.
This is an ugly name. It sounds weird and looks weird. I hate this name.

Actually, I've changed my mind about the name Fenton. I don't think it's ugly or weird and I don't hate this name anymore. It's quite a nice cool & clever sounding, masculine name! :) xo.

The name Fenton was given to 34 baby boys born in the US in 2012.
I doubt this name is going to catch on. I mean, Fent just isn't a very catchy nickname, and it lacks a certain flow, you know. It sounds weird as a first name. Rather pretentious.
I have a hunch this name is going to be big in the coming years, looking at the current American trend of giving surnames to children eg. Mackenzie and Peyton.

You have said this name, which dates from the 11th century in Nottingham, is derived from 'Marsh-town'. However, many believe that the name was brought over from France during the Norman conquest in which case the name comes before the place, not vice versa.
