I like Addison better, when I first read Leighton, I pronounced it Layton, I’m also afraid people will pronounce Layton as well. Addison is my choice. :)

Leighton is pronounced Layton, nobody will ever pronounce it Leeton although I do think the correct pronunciation of Leighton is beautiful.

Yeah I wouldn’t use Leighton if you want it pronounced as Lee-ton because it will most definitely be pronounced as Layton. So I would go with Addison for sure.

Why is Leighton pronounced Layton if Leigh is pronounced Lee? I just never really understood this name, I know one guy with mn Leighton and he says it like Leeton, but most people pronounce it Layton I guess. I prefer Addison though

If you have to write out the pronunciation, then it’s best to avoid it. Otherwise, your child will spend their entire life spelling, re-spelling, pronouncing, re-pronouncing, explaining, etc.
