Dayton. Has anyone here ever heard of a girl named Dayton? I think it's the stupidest name I've ever heard of for a GIRL, and I hate it. Please tell me if you have EVER heard of a girl named Dayton, and note how it is spelled. My brother is going to name his daughter - my parents' first grandchild - Dayton, and I have to stop them... unless it's at least been heard of before.
