Sutton or Collins

Pretty trendy, really, IMO.

Thoughts?

These names fall into the "fancy soap opera name" category for me.  If I had to chose I would pick Sutton.

BTW-- love your DD's name and she is a doll!

Thank you!  I heard Sutton on some CW show (can't remember) and then Collins was on the "Blindside" movie.  Both girl names.

I am not 100% sold on either.

Not a fan of either.  Collins just reminds me of Collins mixer.  And Sutton is just too out there for me.

Neither are my style. Very trendy I think between the two though I prefer Sutton.

First thought is they are both boy names.

Collins they ruined perfectly good Collin.

Sutton ( I actually have a friend with a little girl Sutton, It is also my MIL's married name) I don't like the name at all, boy or girl, but if used should be a boy.  My DH thinks in high school she will get sluttin.

Sutton sounds very country-ish to me.  I like Collin, but not Collins.  It reminds me of Tom Collins the drink.  This is all assuming we are talking for a boy.  These would be riciulous on a girl

I must admit that Collins is a GP name for me ever since Blind Side. I wouldn't use it, but I do like it.

I didn't even think about that (and we had tossed around the name Sutton). I definitely prefer Sutton to Collins though.

Both make me think boy but I could like Sutton on a girl as well.

I do not like Collins. Reminds me of the drink.

I wish I could have a vodka collins right now!

Sutton is NMS and Collins is okay. I lean toward Collin when I say it, but I don't dislike it

Sutton Place is a historically upper-crust neighborhood in NYC.  So I'd give someone named this the side-eye; their parents were clearly trying too hard.  It's like naming your kid Harvard or something.
Me: 39. DH: 41. TTC since 2009.
FSH: 9.5 at highest. AMH (11/2011): 0.9. AFC: 10ish. HSG: Normal. SA: Normal.
July 2011 - Feb. 2012: 2 Clomid/TI cycles; 3 injectables/IUI cycles. Good response but BFNs.
Dec. 2011: Laparoscopy (clear) + hysteroscopy to remove uterine polyp.

April 2012: IVF #1: FSH 9.2, AFC 7-8. Antagonist protocol.
Started stims (300iu Gonal-F, 150iu Menopur) 3/28.
Added ganirelix 4/1. Trigger 4/5 (7 follies). ER 4/7: 7R, 0M, 0F. :-(

Nov. 2012: IVF #2: Long Lupron protocol.
Started Lupron 10/27. AFC 10+. Started stims (300iu Follistim, 150iu Menopur) 11/8.
Trigger 11/18 (7 follies). ER 11/20: 9R, 1M, 1F. 3dt of my one 6-cell embie on 11/23: BFN.

Dec. 2012: Hail Mary IUI cycle with leftover IVF meds: BFN.

Feb. 2013: IVF #3: Estrogen priming protocol.
Pre-AF: estro patch + ganirelix. AFC 8-10. Started stims (450 Follistim, 150 Menopur) 1/28.
Added ganirelix 2/4. Combined Lupron/HCG trigger 2/10 (6-ish follies).
ET 2/12: 6R, 1M, 1F w/rescue ICSI. My embie didn't make it. :-(

July 2013: DE IVF #1

I really dislike both of them.
dx homozygous for 3 thrombophilias, poor egg quality, and most likely autoimmune problem. Anything I'm missing?
5 miscarriages, 1 exception DS born 4/10
TTC another miracle
3 failed cycles of clomid, 2 failed cycles of injectables, moving on to IVF 8/12
ER 8/20 22 eggs retrieved, 19 fertilized, 2 transferred, 9 frozen
Beta #1=302 Beta #2=700 Please be a sticky baby!

They work in double names.  I know an Ann Collins.  Mary Sutton would work, too.

I know a couple of Suttons and a couple of Collinses, all girls--and all family names.  I love both names if they are family names.  If they are random surnames you have no family ties to, I really dislike them.

This. I would expect either to be your maiden name, etc. Otherwise, it's just weird to pick someone else's last name.
