I just have to add that I have two grandson's Peyton and Riley so I was surprised to see them together on your poll. Of course I love the names!!! They are Peyton Elwood and Riley Scott. Good luck.

To be honest, I didn't realize this poll was FOR a girl at first (I was just going down the list and hadn't read the message title). If you're comfortable with your dd having a masculine name, that's fine, but I'd pair it with a feminine fn or mn to avoid some confusion and awkward situations and to give her options as she matures, because even if you like more male names for a girl, she may not, and might appreciate a choice in the matter, KWIM?

I ended up voting for Addison Riley, simply based on the numbers. It's used slightly more often on girls than Peyton is (although this doesn't take into account the various spelling variations of each), and might be more likely to appear female, given the very-similar and also-masculine Madison is now in the top ten.

We like both names. Actually still have Payton Riley on our shortened list. It flows very well. Prefer that spelling to Peyton as we dislike Peyton Manning. Payton/Peyton and Addison are far from masculine IMO, but definitely unisex. If you prefer that style, go with it.

I voted for Peyton, - it is one of the very very few unisex names that I like for either gender

However, I don't think you should also have another unisex name in the middle

I think you should definitely go with a definite girl name in the middle

good luck

Addison is likely to become very popular in the next couple of years because of Grey's Anatomy - so I voted for Peyton. I think that one's really cute.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Honestly, I think that both of them are a little over-popular and trendy right now and I'm not a big fan of either...

I voted for Peyton Riley, I think it's a really cute name. I think Addison is a sweet name as well, but Peyton just goes with Riley better I think.
