We have decided our baby will be called this if its a boy but can't decide how to spell it. Any thoughts?

Unless you also have a son called Michael...

Very MN.

Saxon is a nice name...

Jackson is a great name.

Sleepyfergus · 02/03/2014 09:40

Jaxon is a joke name, surely?

Have to say I'm not fond of either, but at least Jackson is a recognised spelling and not made up. Why not have Jack? Perfectly nice name on its own.

Definitely not Jaxon.

Kri5ty · 02/03/2014 09:03

highlystrungmum its a nice name :)
We were going to use it as OH wanted ds2 to be called Jax (from son's of anarchy lol)
We also toyed with jaxon/Jackson) as I didn't want him to ge just called Jax.

Good luck !!

There's no such thing as Jaxon surely? Jackson is a cool name.

haleyalannahxo · 01/03/2014 18:14

Definitely Jackson. Jaxon just looks horrid.

jonicomelately · 01/03/2014 18:00

I know a Jackson. I really like the name.
Agree with everybody that Jaxon is bloody awful.

JohnGilpinsWife · 01/03/2014 17:59

Jackson is...OK.

Unless your surname is Jackson, of course.

MarvellousMechanicalMouseOrgan · 01/03/2014 17:56

FabBakerGirl, how do they sound different?

Jackson, definitely. I know one, and he's very nice.

Anjou · 01/03/2014 16:44

Definitely Jackson. I met a Jacksson the other day- yes, that is how he spells it. I'm hoping that this is how it's actually spelled in Denmark or somewhere rather than it just being the case that his dad is called Jack and thought Jacksson was hilarious a good idea.

Thiscarisreversing · 01/03/2014 06:53

I would officially call him Jackson but use the pet nick name jaxs

mrsgumpy · 28/02/2014 12:58

If it is between these two, then Jackson definitely.
