I named my son this after'seeing it on MTV, I was having a hard time coming up with a boy name. I loved it and thought it was unique, but never heard it before. Everyone loves it, all girls I'meet think It's cute and guys think It's cool. I was thinking if I have a girl to name her Lacey so it could be Lacey and Layton :-) I highly recommend this name, everywhere I go people LOVE it!!! Connie

Our youngest son's name is Layton. We wanted an uncommon name'so from the website of names we choose that one. We were at the doctors office the other day and the nurse called Layton thinking it was our son's turn it happened to be an older male who had the'same name. That is the only time we have ever heard of someone with the'same name as him.
