Help[Opinions] Re: Ryatt, Dutton, and Misael
in reply to a message by Manipura
Riatt isn't a name to me, no more than Riot, except that it's just possible Riatt is an occasional surname like Hiatt or Piatt.
I don't see any reason to name a kid Riot. A riot isn't a positive thing. It's like naming him Brawl or Melee.
Dutton just sounds funny, even though of course it's a well-known surname. It sounds like baby talk for button or nothing or dusting.
No idea how to pronounce Misael.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I'm pretty sure I've never even seen Dutton as a surname. I would've guessed it was made up like Daxton at 1st glance.

Dutton is a real surname. I’ve known a guy with it.

Right. I wasn't calling it fake, just doubting how common and well-known it is, relatively. I've never heard of the publisher either.
It seems like it might have been popularized here by the TV show Yellowstone, which began in 2018...it's the fastest rising baby name in the country currently, which makes it seem like it came from nowhere (apart from, imv, how it sounds similar to other more common trendy surnames) because I haven't seen the show.

it's a surname ...
Famous publisher E.P. Dutton immediately springs to mind.
