Answer 5

Layton

Laeton

Laytin

Laetin

Laytyn

Laetyn

Answer 6

I can understand the Lay-ton pronunciation, but I also see the Leigh and my first impression is Lee. And I think Layton looks dumb. Keep it Leighton and just tell everyone how to spell or pronounce it.  

Answer 7

Leightynne.

Layetynne.

Layeton.

Laeton.

Answer 8

I disagree with some of the others; I think Leighton would clearly be pronounced lay-ton, and I prefer this spelling. Others could be Leiden (I know it's a d instead of t, but when you say it it sounds the same. This may be pronounced lie-don though.) or Leyden.

Answer 9

I would pronounce Leighton as lee-ton.

If it's not obvious how it's pronounced, don't call your kid that. He'll have to constantly correct people for the rest of his life!

And, besides, it sounds like a Dorset village, not a person.

Answer 10

I love that name! I would just spell it Leighton. You could do Layton but that kind of looks like a boys name

Answer 11

Layton, Laighton, Leyton
