About Fulton
Robust and grounded, this name projects strength and reliability without pretension or flash. Industrial-age associations with innovation and progress give it forward-thinking credentials despite traditional roots. The single-syllable surname-as-first-name trend finds solid representation here, offering something different from overused alternatives while maintaining complete accessibility. Parents seeking sturdy, no-nonsense names that convey dependability and substance frequently select this option. It photographs well, looks authoritative on business cards, and sounds presidential in formal settings—all practical considerations for a name that will serve across eight decades or more. The "ton" ending links it to place names and establishes geographic gravitas. Contemporary enough to avoid dusty vintage associations yet classic enough to age gracefully through all life stages.
