History & Origin
Blayton is a modern American boys' coinage, mixing the Blake/Blaine sound with the -ton ending shared by Clayton and Braxton. It appears in United States records from around 1996 and reached its small high near 2006. Given to only a couple dozen boys a year, it never became common.
A boy named Blayton near that mid-two-thousands high is still young, part of the surname-style -ton trend. It is a fresh coinage rather than a revival; parents who like the sound often land on the more established Clayton or Braxton.
