I saw this on the T.V Series Sanctuary it was the name of the City in Hollow Earth. The name grew on me but now I love it. I am considering making this part of my Pen Name. Most people think of the Praxis Exams, the exams people take to be certified a teacher. It would work as a character name in maybe a modern mythology novel or in a fantasy/sci-fi novel as well.
