If retro names speak to your soul, check out this trendy respelling of the classic British name Baxter. Just as suave, but a bit more edgy, Bax is the perfect choice for a baby boy. It's rooted in Old and Middle English word bakstere and was traditionally used as an occupational name for a "baker." It may have also been inspired by the Old High German name bāgan, meaning "to fight," which later evolved to Backhaus and Backs. Although all 'x' names are gorgeous, Bax has that vintage flair that your little one will always cherish.
