Elton 
English, "Old town"
Several decades ago, you would hear the name Elton and think of a stuffy Brit in a manor house, or perhaps the pompous clergyman Mr. Elton from Emma. Today the name evokes spangles, enormous sunglasses, and candles in the wind. Your son will have to embrace a life of flashiness to really work the name.
