Jax?

We are expecting ds2 in April and DH has just said he LOVES the name Jax........I can't decide if I like it or not.

I've always wanted a little boy called Jack which DH hates so it would be a kind of compromise on that.

I think I like it but am worried that a) our family will do that one raised eyebrow and whispers behind our back for a few months, b) our ds1 is called Harry which is very 'normal' so not sure they go together and c) can see me introducing him to strangers and having to say "no not Jack, Jax....." which could get very annoying.

I love the fact that DH feels strongly about it as I felt that I had more say than him over ds1's name and he's been working abroad for a lot of this pregnancy so has missed scans and appts etc.

What do you guys think?

Funny, the only Jax I know is a lovely woman, her name is Jaqueline btw

Dear me, no. That's just awful.

I don't like it either.
Would definitely go with Jack, and you can always call him 'Jax' as a nn within the home if you want, but he'll not be continually having to explain "it's not Jack" for the rest of his life.

I don't like it either. It sounds like a nickname for Jacqueline to me.

I don't like it at all. Sorry.
