Give Peyton a notebook that's unmistakably hers. Peyton's Notebook has her name in elegant script over a pink watercolor apple blossom cover.
Peyton comes from an English surname, says Behind the Name, which was first a place name meaning “Pæga’s town”. Wikipedia calls it an English surname and unisex given name, and notes that in Ireland it was one of the anglicized forms of Ó Peatáin. It was a rare boys’ name until the 1990s.
Behind the Name gives Paityn as a variant, and Payton is a common alternative spelling of the same name. Peyton is short and snappy already, so most girls keep it as it is.
Peyton Manning played quarterback in the NFL for 18 seasons, 14 with the Indianapolis Colts and four with the Denver Broncos. Wikipedia says he was named the league’s Most Valuable Player a record five times and ended his career with a win in Super Bowl 50. He entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
Peyton is a 21st-century girls’ name. Behind the Name says it began rising for girls after the 1992 movie The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, even though the character was the villain. US Social Security data has it at 123rd in the 2000s and 64th in the 2010s, when more than 39,600 American girls were named Peyton.
A Peyton presided over the start of the American Revolution. Wikipedia says Peyton Randolph of Williamsburg, Virginia, was elected president of the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia in 1774 and was briefly the first president of the Second Continental Congress. He was a first cousin once removed of Thomas Jefferson, and he signed the Continental Association, a boycott of British trade.
Peyton’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Peyton’s Notebook” on the cover tells Peyton it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
How big is Peyton’s Notebook? 6" x 9", or about 15.2 x 22.9 cm. It’s a paperback with 160 lined pages inside.
