The first name 
Paxten

Paxten is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.

Paxten – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Paxten in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Paxten in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Paxten by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Paxten ranks at #4,549. That means there are 4,548 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.

Paxten

Paxten has 6 letters 
and begins with a P

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter P is quite rare as an initial letter for boys' names: only 1.5% of all common boys' names in the US begin with P, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But P is by no means the rarest initial. While X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names, the most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D.

With six letters, the name Paxten is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

From this follows that if 1.5% of all boys' names begin with a P, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Incidentally, of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a P, Paul is currently the most common.
