It kinda reminds me of something you'd name your cat, but I think it's cute anyway.

I think of Braxton Hicks' contractions.

I love this name, not only is it an old family name from the 1920's but it came back in my family this year with the birth of my grandson, Braxton Parker Davis.
I think Braxton is a really cool and unique name. I had never heard of it until I saw it on this website and I think it's an awesome name for a guy. I would name my kid this.
I loathe this name. It sounds youthful in an immature way. When I picture a man named Braxton, I think of a middle-aged guy with a beer belly, bleached, spiky hair, in a Hawaiian shirt, who acts like a frat boy. Now, there are surely going to be plenty of Braxtons who aren't like that, but the name gives me that mental image, and it sounds butt-ugly as well.
This is a wonderful name! I can see it on a little boy, a teenager and a grown man, and it is extremely attractive either way. I want a future son of mine to have this name, coupled with the middle name Jacob.
