Baby Boy Paxton

I have been looking at names and [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] is really sticking with me for a long time. It’s rare but also ‘trendy’ but the -ton trend is fading away which works for me. I really enjoy the nickname [name_u]Pax[/name_u]. Any opinion on a 2020 baby boy [name_u]Paxton[/name_u]?

I am struggling with middle names with it. I have a family name of [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] but not sure it’d work now-a-days. I’ve thought about:
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Drake[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Titus[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Shamus[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]

Or should I do away with [name_u]Paxton[/name_u]? But I’m afraid I’ll regret it if I don’t use [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] as I’ve connected with it. Make sense? I’d really have to like an alternative to break that connection. Any opinions appreciated!!!

[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] is amazing! It feels new but surnamey and I love the meaning!

[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] feels grounded and safe. [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] is interesting and I think the modern feel of [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] makes it feel balanced. [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] is great too

A few other suggestions:
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Harris[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Colton[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m]/[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Marlon[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

I love [name_u]Paxton[/name_u], especially [name_u]Pax[/name_u]. The only [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] I know is in his 20s, so it doesn’t feel trendy to me. [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] would work, but I prefer pretty much ever name on your middle names list.

Thanks for the advice! Maybe I will just stick with [name_u]Paxton[/name_u]. I really don’t want him made fun of for such an old timer middle name but my father’s dad passed away before I knew him but my dad really idolizes him. I wanted to bring a little of his dad back to the world.

I could do the double middle name approach. [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] _______

I’m not sure the rules around two middle names.:confused:

I think as a middle, [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] works just fine! Most kids don’t know each other’s middle names so I don’t think they’d tease him for it. If you want to go with two middles, [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] would be very handsome!

I think [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] is fine!

[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]?

I like [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m]. Kids only really share middle names with their friends, so any teasing will likely be in good humour. Besides, using the middle name as an honour spot is very common, so many people have middle names that wouldn’t be used as a first name.

Wow! Everyone is so supportive of [name_u]Paxton[/name_u]! I read many old, old posts where people hated it but maybe 2019/2020 name taste changed? I think [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] is at the top now but I agree all the middle names in my first post are nice. I like them all but an honor name has more meaning that just a nice sounding combo name. I like [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] because it means [name_u]Peace[/name_u] and that is what I home this baby brings!! That and joy of course :blush:

Okay, I am back! I learned my grandpa never really liked his name [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] and it started to not look so great.

I’ve brainstormed and having trouble! I still really like the name [name_u]Paxton[/name_u].

[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] is a front runner
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] I like as well since [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] means [name_u]Peace[/name_u] and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is associated with Rebirth
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Drake[/name_m]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]

Kind of stuck again!:confused::confused:
