Comments for the name Paxton

I know a girl named Paxton... but I don't think it's a very good name for a girl.

There are two meanings that I've found yet about the name Paxton, and they are:
1. Edible crab
2. Warrior's estate; the estate of a soldier
:]

Paxton is a great name for a girl. My daughter's name is Paxton and it suits her so well.

Paxton is originally a boys name and is Latin for Peaceful Town.

Girl? How come when parent thinks they are being original half the others name their kid this. By 2010 I reckon it'll be top of the popularity charts in the US, and possibly the UK. American name trends tend to catch on here pretty quickly. Shame, the name no longer is unique and destroys the whole point of the trend, if you see what I mean. Paxton will no longer as be as unique. Jessica anyone?

Paxton is a unisex name but it really is a masculine name. Sadly it seems that whenever people think that a boy name looks good on a girl it automatically becomes unisex. It is rubbish in my opinion. There are so many girls names out there. Don't keep using boy names on girls. It is quite dumb in my opinion. It is not original or creative to do so. It really is equal to naming your little girl Thomas or Harold. You may not think so but the rest of us do. But the masculine name Paxton is very nice and I quite like it.

I actually love the name Paxton, but you have got to be kidding me about using it on a girl. Why must these "youkneek" parents keep using BOY names on girls? There's plenty of uncommon and interesting girl names to choose from, leave the boy names alone! If you're going to name your girl Paxton then you might as well name your son Elisabeth in my opinion.

It sounds more like a surname to me, but it's not atrocious as a first name. It sounds like the name of a rather fun young guy, but it's not some type of name of an obnoxious frat boy type like Baxter, Dexter, Corey, Skylar, and such. Not one of my favorites, but okay. It isn't totally infantile on older men either.

Jay Hernandez played the character "Paxton" in the horror movies Hostel 1 and 2.

The main character in the movie Three in the Attic was a guy named Paxton Quigley.

There is also a boy on the Disney Channel named Pax. He reads the news sometimes.

My son's name is Paxton and it fits him! His daddy named him after the supercharger engines. Definitely a name best suited for a boy!

I love this name for a boy. I don't think it would suit all boys like names for example Michael or James but Paxton is definitely a nice name. I think of a nice well mannered boy who is fun and just really sweet.

I would assume that this name is related to Pax, meaning "peace" in Latin, and the goddess of peace in Roman mythology. So an easy translation of the full name would be "peaceful town".

The main villain in the video game F.E.A.R is named Paxton Fettle.

Well, I won't kid you at all. I named my daughter back in 1996. I loved the name Paxton and she was going to be Paxton girl or boy. I got the name out of a Danielle steel book where the character was named Paxton Andrews. A female lead. They called her Paxi and Pax. I think it's a great name and we don't know any Paxton females where we live. There is one boy who is much younger named Paxton. I think it's def a cute name for a girl!
