[name]Baby[/name] boy’s last name is Reichstein - which is pronounced “[name]Rike[/name]-stine”. I’m currently in love with the name [name]Paxton[/name], but I’m concerned it might be a bit much with the harsh “x” mixed with the harsh “k” sound of the last name. Thoughts? Other suggestions? It seems most of the names I end up loving may not go well with this last name.
(I considered [name]Peyton[/name] but my husband does not want to name his son after a [name]Manning[/name])
I don’t find it too harsh, but I find it kind of rhymey - the chs sequence in your name in English is probably quite close to x, and then the t and the n as well. It’s by no means bad though, but just rhymey enough to maybe not be ideal unless you and your husband really really love it (some people prefer rhymey names). What about…

Good luck!
I love [name]Paxton[/name] nn [name]Pax[/name]! When i say [name]Paxton[/name], I don’t say it with a hard X sound. The x is soft when I say it out loud. i might be saying it weirdly though. In any case, I don’t find the X in [name]Paxton[/name] and the hard sound in your last name to be too much. I think it sound great!
I think [name]Paxton[/name] sounds nice with your last name. I don’t find it harsh at all. I think it flows better with your LN than [name]Peyton[/name] would have. For the record when I pitched [name]Eli[/name] to DF he told me no son of his would be named after a [name]Manning[/name] either lol.
I agree that [name]Paxton[/name] Reichstein might be a bit too much. The “ks” sound in Reichstein sounds like the “x” in [name]Paxton[/name], which makes them sound too similar. Plus, the poor kid might feel like he was spitting on you when he said his name. That’s just my opinion, though.
I think there is two much ks sound with [name]Paxton[/name] and reichstein.
As much as I like [name]Paxton[/name], I agree with this statement. I like [name]Colton[/name].
Yeah, as much as I love it, I’m really not sure it flows off the tongue easily. Dang my husband and his silly last name! 
I have a few others up my sleeve. [name]Elliot[/name] has been hovering near the top for a while and that flows much better. Still not 100% on it, though.
[name]Elliot[/name] Reichstein does flow much better. What other names are floating on your list?
