Thoughts on Hendrix?

What are your thoughts on the name Hendrix? My other son is Paxton. Is the "x" thing weird?

Eta: other ideas with a similar naming style are certainly welcome. Boy names have been really hard for us!

My thoughts on Hendrix as a FN are not good, sorry.

I get a strong peace vibe with your son's name because of the Pax. So maybe a softer, more peaceful sounding name?

Jasper

Or something more uncommon like Balthazar or Caspar. (Two of the Wise Men)

Immediately think Jimi. MN but I really dislike it for a FN.

No. Trying too hard to be cool. What about Hendrik, or just Henry?

Thanks for the comments. I've been on the fence about it. I like it but I don't know if I'd still like it down the road. I definitely don't want a hipster baby in skinny jeans, lol!

I would like it for a MN. Do you like Henry? I know someone whose daughter is named Henley, but not sure that works for a boy.

I actually know a great couple that named their son Hendricks. The name had nothing to do with Jimi. At first it was a little different, but now that he's here, the name totally fits him!

I'm not crazy about the x ending.  

On our son's fussball team, there is a Hendrik and a Henrich (in Europe).  Kind of similar.  We have a Henry so between all those H names it gets confusing:)

Put it in the GP pile and keep looking.

Strongly dislike. It's so hipster I would expect the kid to pop out in skinny jeans with a mason jar of the latest local microbrew in hand.

I wouldn't use it unless you intend it to be an homage to Jimi Hendrix and are 100% certain your DS will be happy to be a walking Jimi Hendrix homage for his entire life.

Also, random trivia:  my high school chemistry teacher also taught Jimi Hendrix (yes, I'm old, and she was very old).

Thanks again for all the input. My husband and I aren't even big Jimi Hendrix fans, so it definitely wouldn't be after him but we wouldn't ever hear the end of it.

Bumping it to the middle name is a thought, but we'll likely go with a family name. I do like Maddox but can't handle the whole Angelina thing.

I love that Pax means peace. Maybe I'll look into other "peace" names and see if something jumps out at me. Luca is good. Good idea for those of you who said to save Hendrix for a dog. My dogs are pretty old (unfortunately), so we'll likely get a couple more in the next few years.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I actually like it. Perhaps because I know a little Hendrix at DS's daycare and he is absolutely adorable!

To stick with the "x" theme, I'd chose something like Felix, Dexter, Alexis, Alexandre, or Maximus. I would never, ever use Hendrix. Unless I was somehow related to Jimi.

I know a little boy named Hendrix. So I love the name. He is almost 6 years old and people gave his mom a hard time about the name, until he was born and their was a baby attached to it.

What about Henrik?
