What's in a Name? An Odd Juxtaposition

As I was walking to school this morning, a few thoughts crossed my mind. Some weren't all that surprising - like, "hmmmm - I'd really love a chocolate glazed donut, but I've been eating so much chocolate since Christmas ..." - but at least one thought was quite unexpected. For some reason I thought of the name of a guy I went to middle school with, then I really noticed his name, and then I thought, "what was up with the language and social studies teachers at my school never pointing THAT out?". And what would THAT be? The unusual combination of names he had - Pax Mars. I guess the teachers never said anything about it because I'm guessing his first name was actually Paxton. But c'mon "Pax Mars" - how does any teacher with a knowledge of Latin or Roman history not tell a tale about that?
