What do you think of the name Paxton nn Pax? He will have a short two syllable surname begging with a P also if that affects your thoughts

Stuffing

And Pax equally bad

Abbreviation for passengers

Atalune · 09/05/2019 08:06

Tampax?
Paxo stuffing?

I don’t think so....

shiveringtimber · 09/05/2019 08:17

Pax = peace
I like Pax but not Paxton. I also like Max but not Maximilian.

Whoops75 · 09/05/2019 08:21

No

Sounds more like a brand than a name
and it’s to harsh to put with a P surname.

It's not awful but it's not an attractive name. A bit like Malcolm to my ear for some reason!

gokartdillydilly · 09/05/2019 08:25

His nickname at secondary school will be Tampax. It will.

Pinkarsedfly · 09/05/2019 08:27

I like it, so long as your surname isn’t Hicks.

Reallybadidea · 09/05/2019 08:27

Jeremy Paxman, but stuffed. Not a very attractive picture.

My immediate association was "paxton whitfield", the cheese company.

FenellaMaxwell · 09/05/2019 08:32

I went to school with someone who’s surname was Paxton. Everyone called him Tampax.

BrainScience · 09/05/2019 08:33

It makes me think of the diesel in Thomas. He’s one of the only friendly diesels though so that’s a good thing.

AGoodWench · 09/05/2019 08:36

I know pax as an abbreviation for passengers too.

Saharafordessert · 09/05/2019 08:39

Tampax?!!

KindnessCrusader · 09/05/2019 10:37

I like Pax but yes I'm so sorry I immediately thought of stuffing when I read Paxton.

JaneJeffer · 09/05/2019 11:00

Everyone called him Tampax. Grin

SilverySurfer · 09/05/2019 19:22

Really, really awful.

oohbubbles1 · 09/05/2019 19:53

its not awful just v american, does that bother you? x

TinselAngel · 09/05/2019 19:57

I'm assuming you mean Joseph Paxton being in Victoria? Just checking you're aware it's was his surname?

Offallycheap · 09/05/2019 20:00

Isn’t that the name of the rabbit in TimmyTime?

pilates · 09/05/2019 20:04

Awful

diddlediddle · 09/05/2019 21:15

It would be nice if I could offer the OP a glimmer of hope that someone likes the name Paxton.

Unfortunately not possible 😬

littlebillie · 09/05/2019 21:33

It was the name of the dog in " you've got mail" it's a good name but I think some may remember that movie

ScrambledSmegs · 09/05/2019 21:36

Cheesemongers.

Starryskiesinthesky · 09/05/2019 21:39

My first (childish) thought was tampax.

Littlebird88 · 09/05/2019 21:41

ahhh stuffing... sorry.
I don't like it but if you do go for it
