My son was born in 2009 and the name Dayton was pretty still pretty uncommon. I have n'ticed that alot of Paytons and Daltons are becoming more common but Dayton is still unique. Some times people call him Jason and are politely corrected. His name has been ryhmed with Satin (didn't see that one comming.)I love the name Dayton and have reci'ved many possitive comments about his name. I have only ran into 2 other Daytons with in'the past 11 years.
