very unique name. people are intrigued and usually want to have deeper discussion. being named dalton, its easy to say this. when i tell people my name, they're like "woah, never heard that before." and thats a good thing. with a name so rare, you gotta make sure you leave a mark so people dont forget the beautiful face that goes with the name. anybody thinking of a name for a new baby boy, i'd reccommend Dalton, highly. when i was growing up, nobody really made fun of my name. no insults that really go with it. my first boy will definitely be Dalton jr. hope this helped. good luck.

Commentary on the name Dalton:
Dalton is one of the old-time surnames, part of the staid, pipe-smoking world of Palmer, Truman, and Winston. But while the others were still out puffing in the parlor, Dalton came out of nowhere to become a modern hit. In New York and surrounding areas Dalton is known as an exclusive prep school, and seldom used as a name.
