I love it, but would like opinions.

If you don't like it, why not? Generally would like opinions ☺️

It's not for everyone, but Oh I love it, it's a name for a boy destined for great things

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/03/2022 18:18

Also knew a Tudor at school. Really nice lad.

cafedesreves · 25/03/2022 18:10

Or Norman!

extractorfactor · 25/03/2022 18:07

If you have more offspring you could name them:
Jute, Angle, Goth and Vandal. Or go further back with Roman!

cafedesreves · 25/03/2022 18:05

I teach one!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/03/2022 18:00

Sorry. Dog's name. Knew a Paxton

TatianaBis · 25/03/2022 17:59

I get the white supremacy thing too.

Soubriquet · 25/03/2022 17:58

Oh im glad another female Saxon has popped up.

Honestly, it really suits her

AmberLynn1536 · 25/03/2022 17:55

It’s a woman’s name to me, I know a woman named Saxon, I think it’s such a strong name for a girl, shame it’s been taken over by WS I did not know that until I read it on this thread

BurnDownTheDiscoHangTheDJ · 25/03/2022 17:49

It’s not a name.

Although I guess you could go with “Salty” as a nickname!

Seriously though, don’t do this to a kid. It’s try hard and makes you sound like someone who’s never read a book in their life.

@MrsMoastyToasty

Tutor = Tudor.
Tudor is a Welsh name meaning God's gift. Lovely name.

How about Jaxon?

FuggyPidding · 25/03/2022 17:46

I've only ever heard it as a surname.
I don't mind some surnames as first names though like Parker, Fletcher and Wilson. Not as keen on Saxon but if you like it, why not?!

PierresPotato · 25/03/2022 17:46

I do like Frank though.

BlancheB · 25/03/2022 17:44

@KirstenBlest

Norman is better

PierresPotato · 25/03/2022 17:42

Saxon, Angle, Jute, Dane, Norman, none of them good names imo.

@Makinglists

Was just about to say the same.

@Roselilly36

Sorry no a fan, I think Aldi use that name for toilet roll.
You're correct! groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-saxon-white-toilet-tissue-9-pack/4088600067100 Loo roll aside it's an awful name. Just about passable for a dog but not a child.
KirstenBlest · 25/03/2022 17:24

Norman is better

FinnRussell · 25/03/2022 17:17

Awful

Ivyonafence · 25/03/2022 16:54

It makes me think of white supremacy.

TBH if I saw it among a pile of resumes, it would give me pause.

I'd go with something else.

@BourbonVanilla 🎷🤣🤣🤣

How about Saxophone?
