Baby name dilemma

[turboej7]

So me and my lady are gonna have our first kid and we just found out its probably gonna be a girl (assuming the ultrasound tech is correct)... we are gonna name the little lady Peyton/Payton... for which lies the dilemma.

What do you guys and gals think is more feminine... Payton with an A or Peyton with an E.

Thanks.

Peyton/Payton is pretty masculine IMHO

Now Eli, that's very feminine

This is true... actually both names are considered boys names... however the woman has her heart set on it and there is no way I could convince her to choose something else.

Now Eli, that's very feminine

Unfortunately this is our pit-bulls name. Doubt she would want to name our kid after our dog.

I think you missed my joke

What's the story behind the Payton/Peyton dilema, if you don't me asking?

He got it!

Both are masculine IMO. But hey, some girls have guys names and some guys have girls name.

Pick a different name .

To me Payton/Peyton is a guys name. Nothing worse than being named a manly name cause daddy wanted a boy, or being named a girly name cause mommy wanted a little girl

if i was going to pick between the two.. i'd go with peyton. still sounds masculine though.

name her audra... that way you can call her audi for short

I know girls named Payton, I'd go with that spelling.

I would say Peyton. And my dads friend has a granddaughter with that name, I dont think there is anything wrong with it.....as long as it is spelled Peyton and not Payton.

How about Palin

call her "patience" in tribute to the patience your going to lose.

There is really no story behind it... the wifey wanted a girl and she wanted to name her Payton... with her being all pregnant and s**t I wasnt about to disagree. It has grown on me... but I think it should be spelled with an E (Peyton)... however im finding the general census is leaning towards Payton with an A.

And yes, I missed the joke... you would have to fill me in.

If I didn't know better and you told me your kid's name was Payton/Peyton, I'd assume it was a boys name.....

Not bashing, just an honest opinion. Peyton seems slightly more feminine I guess......

Yea, origin of the name payton/peyton is boy based... something or other.

However, my lady a fan of One tree hill (Peyton Sawyer - played by Hilliarie Burton & Peyton List from Mad Men/Flash Forward)... she kinda fell in love with the name. I almost burst her bubble when I told her you sure you want our daughter to have the same first name as Peyton Manning... she was like... "who is that?"... /facepalm.... I did further explain, but I was severely disappointed she didn't know who he was.

As a girl myself... I'd go with Peyton... The A spelling seems more like a boy to me.

i agree, i like peyton better. payton seems more masculine, dunno why... but the peyton spelling just looks better, imo.

on a side note, i don't think there's anything wrong with having a masculine name at all. it's not like it's bruce or something.

I'd say Peyton. And I think some names could work for both genders.
