I think Jackson is fine. The Jaxon spelling is so very ugly though.

I know a Jaxson and also a Jaxx, both about 8, but neither live in the UK. Compared to Jaxx, which sounds like a cleaning product, Jaxson is better.
What about Jack, or even William with nn Jack?

How the heck do you get the nn Jack from William?! 🤔🤣

@Harrypotterthor Paediatric nurse. We are all very cynical about names.

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 11/05/2024 08:41

Honestly, in my experience they are naughty....

In the spirit of Eurovision, it's a definite nul points.

catlady7 · 11/05/2024 07:46

I like it

RightOnTheEdge · 11/05/2024 07:46

Sorry, I think it's chavvy as well.
Jackson is better.

Awful! Jaxon the claxon! It’s an ugly name IMO. I don’t like Jackson either because it reminds me of jacksy and I dislike surnames being used as forenames.

All those similar “-on” ending names sound ugly to me, and americanised.

To me it’s like the modern equivalent of Wayne.

Awful name, trashy and common. Sounds more American trailer park than chavy to me. Honestly do some parents hate their children and want others to prejudge them?

Weird. When I named my daughter I picked a name that work for any career, accountant, ballerina, farmer or judge. It’s still an unusual name, without the need for funny spelling to be ‘different’.

Toddlerteaplease · 10/05/2024 20:50

Awful and very common now. We get at least one a week at work. Not as bad as Jaxxon though.

Why, what job do you do?

Eurrgh, no, horrible. Chavvy and cringeworthy.

SlothsNeverGetIll · 11/05/2024 04:45

Hideous. Sorry.

spanieleyes · 11/05/2024 04:42

I know a Jackson, Jaxon and Jaqson. Much prefer the first!

PineappleTime · 11/05/2024 04:37

WHYYY would you take a normal name like Jackson and fuck it up with that weird spelling? It makes my brain itch.

Georgie743 · 11/05/2024 03:50

I'm a teacher. Sooo many Jaxson, Jaxon, Jacksxon(yep!), Jaylen, Jayden, etc. 95% of them are from really feral families.

Livinginaclock · 11/05/2024 01:25

Absolutely dreadful, please don't.

mathanxiety · 11/05/2024 01:23

Jackson is nice.

Jaxon isn't.

VelvetTurtle · 11/05/2024 01:19

very ugly name (sorry)
