What do you think of the name Alton? Probably as a middle name (Benjamin Alton).

Benjamin is good. Alton sounds like an old man. I guess it'd be okay for a middle name.

As a middle name ... why not . As a first name I would have to say it depends on the last name. I do like Benjamin a lot. I know my kids are glad I picked more common names because they can always find items with their names on them ... toothbrushes, pens, Christmas decorations, and it saves me money. I think the meaning of the name is kind of important but more importantly how will the name affect the child's self esteem. Will they be teased more or will their name rhyme with something that will cause your child grief later on. Remember kids can be very cruel.

As a middle name I think it's okay. It reminds me of my husband's weird friend. His name is Alton and he is a strange one.

At last, a normal name on Yahoo Answers.
Benjamin is the name of one of my sons. His middle name is Joseph.
Alton is a nice middle name for that first name.
Good choice.

It's cool, but reminds me of Elton. As in Elton John (don't get me wrong, I love him). Is it somebody's last name being used as a middle name?

do you live like in england or something??
just curious, cause that name sounds british...
but it sound like a very sophisticated name, and i'm sure that unless you plan on putting your son in a prep school, he's sure to get beat up...

Please tell me more about why you are thinking of this name? Is it a family name? It is unusual which makes it special, unique in its own way. Go for what you want I say.
