Comments for the name Alton

My favorite food-geek bears this name: Alton Brown. He is the host of "Good Eats" (on the food network). Because of this reference (and his personality), I now think of Altons as funny, clever, kind, and helpful.

Alton Towers, a popular theme park and tourist attraction in the UK, has some of the best and fastest rollercoasters in the world.

Alton Brown uses a variant pronunciation for his name: he pronounces it as AL-ton instead of ALL-ton.

This is my cousin's name and he pronounces it All-ten.

This is my middle name and I HATE it! Nobody in school had ever heard of it and would always tease me about it.

I know someone named Alton and they have the nickname, Tony.

I've never met anyone with this name, but I kind of like it! It's very respectable.
