Braxton and Dixon

Thoughts? Like, Dislike?

The lady at work's grandsons are named this. She thinks it sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions. lol

I like Braxton. Dixon not so much. The names Braxton and Dixon together do remind me of Braxton Hicks. However, I never would have thought of that unless I recently had a baby and read all about it. Also, I don't think I would think of BH if I just saw Braxton or just saw Dixon.

I thought of Toni Braxton and now I can't get "Unbreak My Heart" out of my head.

Braxton Hicks and one of Santa's reindeer. Nice inspiration

I think you were thinking of vixen (?).

Someone told her that Dixon is a name they use in the South? not sure if that's true or not.

FWIW, Braxton and Dixon are NMS

BHC's is the very first thing to come to mind for me, too. Sorry!

I actually thought for a moment I was in the 3rd Tri board......

I grew up in the South and have never heard Dixon. I have a 35 year old friend named Braxton and while it fits him I would never use it.

MamaQuick · February 2010

NMS and IMO way over used lately.

AllThatGlitters101 · February 2010

I don't like Braxton at all. Dixon is a very popular last name around here.

Kellybeth124 · February 2010

Braxton was both my great-grandfather and my great-uncle's name so it doesn't seem made up to me. Southern thing perhaps?

Dixon is totally NMS.

They're both awful names.

mr&mrswelch · February 2010

not for siblings.

LMS05 · February 2010

I don't like either at all.

ash.flea · February 2010

I've always lived in the south and have never heard of the name Dixon. Maybe she meant Dixie? Although that is really mostly used for dogs...

They're both awful names.

I hope Dixon has a middle name that starts with "A" and the last name "Box". It would just be too perfect. I'd also take a last name of Buttz, Ferior, Flamed, or anything that could be used as a first name (which is pretty much anything these days).
They're both horrid, but, Dixon wins with its comedic value.

lol. His last name starts with a P, not sure about middle name. Good thing they are super adorable kids. At least they have that going for them.

That's exactly what I thought when I read the subject.

ChelseaC630 · February 2010

After being pregnant and having horrible Braxton Hicks contrax I've never been able to understand why someone would name their child that. And Dixon is nms

IrishBrideND · February 2010

Braxton would always make me think of BH contractions.

Dixon is a very common dog name.

MrsDCruz · February 2010

I don't like either... sorry.

PhilsWife07 · February 2010

I agree with your co-worker. I'm not a fan of names with x's in them, in general. They always sound made up and tacky to me.

JellyJam · February 2010

Awful and more awful

BlueRidge8 · February 2010

With the popularity of Mason, I think there are too many chances for boy best friends Mason ad Dixon.

fruitslice · February 2010

I know a little Braxton. Older bro is Ashton. Ugh.

happynluv2012 · February 2010

These names got me thinking. Anyone have a link to a post for the worst baby names ever? I can't imagine it hasn't been discussed... I'm just curious to see what people come up with.
