This is a long, long time favourite that I always seem to end up coming back to. I love that it's the name of a river in Scotland. I love that it means evening in Swedish.

I like it for a boy, but I love it and would use it on a girl.

So WDYT of Afton? Middle name suggestions? Siblings?

Thanks :)

Afton Suggestions

It's an unusual name, I can see the attraction to it. However, it is not quite my taste... but I prefer it on a male.
If you make the decision to dub a girl Afton, I think that it would be best to have a relatively feminine and airy middlename.
