I like it for a boy. I hate it for a girl.

I like it for a boy, becasue it sounds:
strong, forcefull, determined.

To my ear it's not quite deep or emotional enough for a girls name.

I think it works for either. When I first glanced at it, I thought of it as a girl's name, but the more I think about it, the more I prefer it for a boy. I think it's a really cute name!

I like it better for a boy, but the only Suttons I have ever known were girls (2 of them, one about 31 now, the other is 12).

I'm extremely critical and picky about girl names I would ACTUALLY use on my own daughter. This one made it all the way to the hospital. We chose Wellsley, but Sutton was in the top 5. LOVE it! Take care, Ginger

It could really go either way, but i like it much better for a boy. I once new a boy with that name so it is just a picture in my head that Sutton is a boy's name.

I don't think I would mind it on a boy. It reminds me of Sawyer.

It's ok...if someone introduced me to there child (boy or girl) i would honestly think 'oh thats a cool name, very original' I honestly see it more on a girl, but not horrible for a boy

no, neither. definitely that's too much of a last name to cross over to be a first name.
