Commentary on the name Maddox:
Most new names created from surnames sound like they're ready to lounge around at prep school. This one's too busy skinning bears and catching bullets with its teeth. The name was nearly unheard of before actress Angelina Jolie chose it for her son, but hundreds of parents quickly jumped on the idea. Macho, yet surprisingly elegant.
