Is this stupid?

Is the middle name Pax a bit silly?

Mir is a lovely Russian word for peace that I have always thought would be a nice name.

There is also Paloma or Comumba, meaning dove, a symbol of peace.

And Dove itself.

Columba, sorry..

bigbluebump - people may have selected "the standard James or Mae" as a middle name because it's meaningful to them.

For instance, DS has a very plain, standard middle name. Why did we choose it? Because we wanted to honour a family member who has that as his first name. It's admittedly not an exciting name, but it's very meaningful to us.

Sure, if James or Mae happen to be family names and are meaningful, then great!

I knew a Pax once. He was a Paxton. lovely, lovely man. A good name imo.

Thanks for all of the replies! Mir is really lovely too, and so is Dove (although doubt I would get away with that one!).

You might get away with Dove for a girl
