Saw film with leading character with this name (A Star Is Born).
Really liked the name. What do you think?

It was my maiden name and I can't be doing with double barrelled names, so I gave it to DS as a middle name.

SemperIdem · 03/03/2019 17:39

I think it is a nice name, but one of those that sounds and wears better on an American than a Brit.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 03/03/2019 14:39

Naughty boys name, sorry.

BlueMerchant · 03/03/2019 14:38

I don't like it personally. Surname and a bit 'common'.

If I used I would definitely spell as Jackson as per my original post. No alternative spellings.
Its been interesting reading the comments as they've been mostly negative. My older son has a name that I've seen alot of negatives comments about on here too. Hmmm..... decisions decisions.

Horrid.

OrigamiZoo · 01/03/2019 22:02

No, just no, it's the wrong time for that name

Tatapie · 01/03/2019 22:00

Sorry have to agree with the Michael comments

Quietplace19 · 01/03/2019 21:56

Not nice really dislike it

FrozenMargarita17 · 01/03/2019 21:54

I like it. Also, Jackson Avery 😍

SweetAsSpice · 01/03/2019 21:52

Literally means son of Jack. Just feels wrong. No.

sue51 · 01/03/2019 21:50

It sounds like a surname. Not keen.

llangennith · 01/03/2019 21:49

Jackson is ok but please don't use alternative weird spelling like Jakxon, Jaxon or Jakson. All in use locally Confused

RosieCockle · 01/03/2019 21:48

As in Michael the paedo? No.

NotMyUsualTopBilling · 01/03/2019 21:48

I don't really have strong feelings on it either way, I know a few of them. If you like it use it.

Prefer Jackson to Jaxon though.

OhHolyJesus · 01/03/2019 21:43

Will always make me think of Michael Jackson and not in a good way.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/03/2019 21:41

Please don't spell it with an x!!!

E20mom · 01/03/2019 21:25

Massively popular American name

Peachbubble · 01/03/2019 21:23

Loads of baby Jackson/Jaxons around atm

palomapear · 01/03/2019 21:16

Michael Jackson?

It's a surname.

cptartapp · 01/03/2019 21:15

I vaccinate a lot of babies.
Would avoid this name like the plague.

ThursdayLastWeek · 01/03/2019 21:14

Prefer Jack.

There’s a trillion Jackson’s where I am.
And Harrisons too.

itsabongthing · 01/03/2019 21:12

Oops cross post!
Would have been tres awkward had I been being serious...

Sophronia · 01/03/2019 21:11

I don’t mind it as long as it’s spelled Jackson and not Jaxon or Jaxson.

itsabongthing · 01/03/2019 21:11

Have you considered spelling it Jaxon or Jakson?
