Is the middle name Pax a bit silly?

As long as your surname isn't O'Fags, why not?

GnocchiNineDoors · 22/07/2012 16:25

Depends. WHat's the first name?

LittlePandaBear · 22/07/2012 20:27

It is an Ikea wardrobe system...

Pancakeflipper · 22/07/2012 20:31

Pax?Oh

Hassled · 22/07/2012 20:36

Latin for peace so on the face of it quite nice - but it does sound a little odd as a name.

pictish · 22/07/2012 20:36

I don't mind it. I'm not in love with it, but it's ok.

OneOfMyTurnsComingOn · 22/07/2012 20:37

Is the first name Tam?

RandomMess · 22/07/2012 20:38

Isn't it stuffing too?

rezzle · 22/07/2012 21:01

Haha, no the first name isn't Tam and we don't have a surname beginning in O :o

And yes, it's latin for peace which we thought would be a lovely meaning :)

He will get called Paxo.

OneOfMyTurnsComingOn · 22/07/2012 21:03

What is the first name?

Dillydollydaydream · 22/07/2012 21:05

Nice meaning, as its not the Christian name I thinks it's absolutely fine.

rezzle · 22/07/2012 21:10

Oops, sorry missed that about first name. I'm only 12 weeks pregnant so we've only just started talking about names (although DH is less than enthusiastic!).

It's a bit Anjelina Jolie/brad Pitt for me, but if you like it you should choose it. Smile

Mrsloverlovershabba · 22/07/2012 21:37

Nope fine

evamummy · 22/07/2012 21:48

Lovely meaning and absolutely find as a middle name imo.

exoticfruits · 22/07/2012 21:50

I immediately think 'Paxo'.

birdofthenorth · 22/07/2012 21:51

So long as the first name isn't Flat or Max either I say go for it Smile

twonker · 22/07/2012 21:57

What about Paz ? That's Spanish for peace, and sounds less like axe!

tammytoby · 22/07/2012 21:58

Great middle name imo. Nice meaning.

patosullivan · 22/07/2012 22:33

Fine as a middle name.

3bees · 22/07/2012 23:03

I think it's nice. Middle names are rarely used so anything goes

AgathaTrunchbull · 24/07/2012 22:37

Lovely. Meaning much more important than the sound, given it's a middle name. Since when did nicknames commonly come from middle names, anyway???

Something with three syllables for the first name?

bigbluebump · 24/07/2012 22:39

Much more meaningful than the standard James or Mae.

Belmo · 24/07/2012 22:41

I was going to say if you have to ask then yes, but I really like it!
