[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Acton?
in reply to a message by Eva Marie
Well, as a major lit geek, I did automatically think of the Bronte sisters... :-D
I don't think it really suits a young child. To me, Acton sounds kind of stuffy. It's not bad by any means, though. And the connection with Lord Acton is neat, too. I'd save it for a middle name.
As for it being a common surname, I don't think that makes a difference at all. It doesn't make it sound trendy or worn, because you'd be using it as a first name.
