Paxton?

I have always had a soft spot for [name_u]Paxton[/name_u].
What are people’s thoughts?
Our last name also starts with Pa- is this an issue?
Any middle name suggestions?
Does it work with [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]?

  1. [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] is okay. Too me, it feels trendy; along the lines of [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m], [name_u]Ashton[/name_u], [name_m]Kingston[/name_m], [name_m]Braxton[/name_m], [name_u]Easton[/name_u] etc. It’s not awful but personally it’s not my style.
  2. To get the feel, I’ll use [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] as a stand in for your last name. [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] is a little repetitive. I wouldn’t mind if his name would be [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_u]Presley[/name_u]; the alliteration isn’t the problem for me, it’s the double “Pa” sounds. Again, it’s not awful but not my favorite either.
  3. As for middle names, [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] sounds great! Other suggestions: [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]… Honestly a lot sounds good with [name_u]Paxton[/name_u]. The only names I’d avoid are names ending in -n.

Sorry this may not be what you want to hear, but I wanted to be honest. Good luck!!

I too think that [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] Pa_____ may be too much. Have you considered a similar name to [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] that would be better with your last name? Suggestions…

[name_m]Maxen[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m]
[name_m]Dax[/name_m]/[name_m]Daxton[/name_m]
[name_m]Dex[/name_m]
[name_m]Axel[/name_m] (I really like this)

[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] goes well with it.

I appreciate the honest answers. I tend to agree on all fronts. Finding a second boy names is proving impossible.

I like [name_m]Axel[/name_m] but when you Google the name with our surname it comes up with a pornstar ”

The double pa doesn’t bother me unless it’s exactly the same sound (like [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] is OK but [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] [name_m]Patterson[/name_m] is not). But I agree that [name_u]Paxton[/name_u] sounds too trendy. I am pretty traditional in my tastes though, and Nameberry seems to say it is a legit name.

Other ideas:
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m], [name_m]Brody[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], [name_u]Cade[/name_u], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_m]Landon[/name_m]

Not a fan of [name_u]Paxton[/name_u].

[name_m]Faxon[/name_m], Phaxon

I really like [name_u]Paxton[/name_u], and it sounds great with [name_m]Lucas[/name_m].
