Pax for a boy
I was talking to a friend yesterday about the name Pax, and using it as a middle name. I thought Tabitha Pax would be cool, but he replied that Pax was male.What do you guys think?

BtN says that it is feminine. I'm almost possitive that this is true. I think the name sounds nice and is unique (in a good way).

Seriously dislike it myself.

It's listed here as feminine, but I could definitely see it on either gender. However, I don't care for it, on either gender. :-/

PaxI thought Pax meant Peace in Latin. As in Violata Pax "Wounded Peace". I dont like it at all for any name first or middle for boy or girl but whatever......your choice.

Yes, it is.I have a feeling that many of your names I would also strongly dislike.

Angelina Jolie's new son might be named PaxI read that Pax is what Angelina Jolie just named the little boy she adopted from Vietnam.

I prefer Pax to Tabitha. It's mostly girl to me because of the mythology behind it. I could see it on a boy, though, since it is kind of a "word name".

I do as wellHowever, things have changed and it looks like I'm back to knwon classics with an unusual streak. It's too bad, though - everyname X picks as unusual is almost always growing in popularity.

I think of it as male, mostly as a nn for PaxtonAnd I do like it a lot, the meaning "peace" really appeals to me. I don't know why it doesn't seem girly to me, but it doesn't. Maybe rhyming with Max and Jack?

could be either, I think ,but I don't care for it in general, mostly due to sound.

I'd think Pax is a for a boy, it sounds too much like Lex and Max to be for a girl. I like it for a boy, not so much for a girl, but I wouldn't mind it as a girl's middle name. Tabitha Pax sounds cool, although I don't really care for Tabitha or Pax for a girl, so nice flow :P

I actually prefer it on a girl, for some reason...it just seems a bit (for want of a better word) weak on a boy (as in pale, as in doesn't strike me, not weak-unmasculine or any of that)I do think though, that it is fair game for either sex and wouldn't object to it on either.

even though it's for a girl, i see it as unisex

I think it suits either gender. Tabitha Pax does sound cool.

Pax is actually a feminine Latin noun as well as a Roman goddess, so I think it works for a girl, though I personally prefer it and other -x (Max, Lennox, etc) names on boys.

I like Pax either way. I know Pax is a goddess, but it's also a Latin word, and, hey--Artemis has been used for boys. I think I slightly prefer it on a girl though. It has a very cool, strong feel about it for a woman. Tabitha Pax is fantastic.

Tabitha Pax sounds great. Very snazzy. I don't see how Pax is male ... It's hardly an established name. Unless it's a male noun in Latin, which it might be - I have no idea :-)
