If it's an alternative to Luke or Lucas you're after, or new inspiration based on Paxton and Braxton, Luxton could make for an interesting option. Blending the cool letter X with a nod to some classics, Luxton was given to 75 boys in the US last year.
 
As a place a and a surname, Luxton comes from the Middle English Lugg, likely a colloquial form of Lucas, Lewis, or Luke used in the British county of Devon. Paired with the suffix -ton, you could elaborate the meaning into "town of the man form Luciana" or "town of the renowned warrior".
 
As a modern creation, Luxton could combine the rising name Lux, which means "light" in Latin, with the aforementioned -ton, to get the meaning "town of light".
 With nickname options including Lux, Lucky, or Lonnie, Luxton could continue to rise in coming years, having received more exposure thanks to content creator Dina Louann, who chose it for one of her sons.
