If you like an X name, why not Dexter then you could shorten to Dex? Or we have a friend with a nephew called Alexander which they shorten to Ax a lot of the time. All of that said, call your baby whatever you like. Honestly, give it a few weeks and people will just associate your baby with the name and nothing else X

What about Alexander? Lots of nickname possibilities like Lex, Axel, Zander, Alex.

Soooosie, Cif was called "Jif", Ajax is a powder cleaner and isn't available any more in the UK.

I love Axel but it makes me think of Guns and Roses, I don't want people saying oh did you name him after Axel Rose. That would wind me up a treat. Otherwise it's a great name

Oh and I meant to say I like Axel! Think it's a great name.

I'm 28 and by no means a cleaning product expert but my immediate thought was, "Isn't Ajax a bathroom cleaner?" Jax is cute but I'd have it as a nickname for Jackson (or Jaxon if you must).

Maddox and Albie are okay.

Jackson maybe??? nn Jax
Ajax is a disaster
Maddox -- not my taste, but tollerable
Albie? Why? Albert maybe?

Trying to hard. Cleaning products and Dutch football team springs to mind. Maddox Taylor sounds like Mad dogs Taylor.

Sorry, I don't like any of them. Ajax is a cleaning product, Jax sounds like a Star Trek alien, I've never heard Maddox used except as a surname, and Albie is cute for a baby but not a grown man.

Albert? Jack?

Jaxon or Maddox. I think Albie is quite twee & babyish tbh & all names ending in -bert are ugly so I wouldn't use it as a short for Albert.

Not keen on any... Albie is okay (better as a NN for Albert) Jax is better as Jaxon, IMO... Maddox would be next and the cleaning product last...
