Meh. That's fine. Sounds posh, upscale, but not snooty.
Exton Downey, Esq., at your service.
Its not Moxie Crimefighter or Pilot Inspektor.

Uncommon but not out-and-out weird like Moon Unit, Apple, or Bear Blu. Exton's the name of a town in England, so no weirder than naming a kid Brooklyn, Madison, or Sydney.

Find a way to express yourself in other ways than to name your kid weird names. Trust me. Unless you're a movie star in which case it doesn't really matter.

If you qualify as an A-list movie star, you should be banned from naming your own child unless you put millions in trust for the poor kid's eventual psychological problems and therapy sessions from having such a dumb ass name as "Exton".

I'll put £10 on the fact that if he has a daughter next he'll call her 'Valdez'

Someone please explain the stupid celebrity baby name thing.
Driven to insanity with nothing to do between projects?
Trying to outdo their peers?
Condition of deal with the devil that brought fame in the first place?

I went to high school in Exton and found Fark on there about 10 years ago, so I'm getting a kick out of all your comments.

1) Become top Hollywood actor
2) Bang another actor
3) Name child "John" or "Jane"
4) ???
5) Profit
I'm still working on #1, and thinking about who I should choose for #2.

It's also the name of the lackey who assassinates King Richard to curry favor with that usurping bastard Henry Bolingbroke in
Richard II
. I wouldn't want my kid named after a sneaking suck-up like that.

That child will grow up to be a power top. I'm not sure why but the name just screams gay porn.

This is more following the general trend of terrible white person names more than it is the trend of terrible Hollywood names. Ashton, Hunter, Taylor, Spencer, etc. These are like the white person versions of Shawntae, LaShonda, Dnettra, etc.
Like seriously, if I were a bigoted hiring person, I would throw out the applications with "Ashton Hunter Smith" on them as well as the ones with "LaShonda Toya Washington." Ugh. Ugh times a thousand.

Exton sounds like a family name. Kids get those kinds of name when a family last name might die out and there is money or a title associated with the name. It sounds like something that people have been doing throughout history, rather than the recent celeb fashion of naming children after fruit, comic book aliens, or jobs in the transportation industry.

to be fair, Audio Science's mom's first name is "Shannyn", so her parents were d-bags too...

Option #2. It wouldn't
do
for celeb X to name their child David or Darla when celebs Y and Z are giddily going for Bronx Mowgli,Apple or Egypt. Oh
no
. It MUST be trendy or else....or else....they'll be regarded with toxic contempt!
Or something.
