another made up trendy name i saw at my son’s sunday school today.
Woah… I thought this was a name someone was thinking of using. [name]IMO[/name] [name]Thatcher[/name] or [name]Paxton[/name] would have been a much better choice.
Actually, Thaxton is a genuine, documented name. It’s a surname, but surnames are often used as first names for boys.
Thaxton is an English name derived from the town of Theakston in [name]North[/name] Yorkshire. It means roughly: “from the farmstead of Theodes.”

My husband’s great great grandmother was a Thaxton. She came to [name_f]Wyoming[/name_f] in a covered wagon with her family. We’ve contemplated many times about using it if we have another son.
