I had never heard of the name until Leighton Meester. When I first saw it, I thought it was pronounced Lee-ton, but now that I’ve heard it’s Lay-ton, I would pronounce it Lay-ton (which I prefer). Hope that helps!

Looking at it, what makes sense to me is Lee-ton, since Leigh = Lee.
But I really want to say it Lay-ton, but that’s because in my first language ei sounds like ay.

I knew a boy named Leighton (pronounced LAY-TON). . .

I would say "Lay-ton" for either spelling...

Either spelling would be Lay-ton. Which is what I like. Here are some other spellings

Laityn
Layton
Leyton
Leightyn
Laytin
Laytyn

My favorite spelling for a girl is Laityn and for a boy Layton

"Lay-tin" is the only pronunciation of both spellings. I prefer the classy Leighton spelling rather than the phonetic Layton. GL.
