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

Cheese! Paxton & Whitfield, smelliest shop in UK. It's famous for that kind of cheese.

It’s appalling. Just sounds so unappealing

Paxton Parker. No

You know what? People have been given unusual names for centuries. Maybe even millennia. I bet in the Stone Age there were SIOBs when a baby was named Ogrooha instead of nice, sensible classic Ug.

It doesn't matter. As long as you like it, your DH likes it and it's not offensive or bonkers or will adversely affect the child's life in some way or Sex Fruit (a 'real' name rejected by registrars in New Zealand) or similar, I think he'll be ok.

Probably wouldn't go for it with a surname that also begins with P. Alliterative names are kinda comic book sadly. Blame Marvel.

I know one, he’s a cool wee fella 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sounds like instant gravy & Jeremy Paxman. Sorry it's a "no" from me.

Or did I mean turkey stuffing?

My friends had a dog called Paxton. Only time I've ever heard it as a name.
