Jax - what do people think?

[lily91]

Have always loved the name Jax for a boy? I'm 16 weeks pregnant so still unsure of the sex at present but we have definitely decided on a name for a girl but still pondering on the name Jax for a boy!

The middle name would be George.

Thoughts please

Please consider Jack. Then you can call him Jax but he will still have a mainstream name which is not widely-used slang for toilet.

Meh about the Irish Jacks thing-doesn't bother me in the slightest. I won't be telling Jacks brother though as that would be eternal ammunition!

No one has to like it op. The general consensus is that Jax is a terrible name, however -like I said - I like it but have Jackson on his birth certificate.

You might even have a girl yet op! What's your chosen girls name?

I think of Jacksonville International Airport, in Florida. JAX is its airport code.

I agree with previous suggestions of Jackson, and then using Jax as a shortening of it.

Jack is nice.

I hear jax and I think 'toilet'. I'm in Ireland

I know you said Dublin squoosh but another poster had said if he ever moved to Ireland in general it would be an issue.
I didn't know that was a parody site I just googled Jax as slang for toilet because I had never heard it.

I don't like it, sorry OP.

In the name of God don't call the child Jax if he is ever likely to live in Dublin (or meet Dublin people)
Anyone remember that shop Cecil Gee?

What on earth is it? No I don't like it.

I pity any poor sod with the surname Gee living in Dublin!

Life would be very trying indeed.

In Ireland Jax/Jacks is slang for toilet.
HTH

Have you really never called the toilet the jacks, MrsG? I thought it was used all over Ireland. Same as folk would say the john, across the pond. To me Jax = toilet. Sorry OP!

Isn't, or was, Ajax a cleaning fluid?

That would put me off.

I'm in NI and would associate jacks with toilet. I did used to go out with a Dub many years ago so I may have picked it up from him.

It's awful.

Jax to me is a female character from Star Trek.

No, it's awful, as is Jaxon, on par with Kai, Kayden, Jayden and other similar names

I don't like it at all sorry. Jack would be much nicer with Jax as a nn.

Jax is terrible. Jack or Jackson are much better.

You forgot Hayden suit

I'm sorry but I think it's frightful. As is Jaxon - or indeed any other name that gratuitously replaces a perfectly good "cks" with an "x".

With George, it sounds even worse. Seriously, don't you hear yourself when you say it?

Awful. I know of a newborn called jaxx (yes, that's how it's spelt)

Hideous. Sorry.

Jax is cleaning stuff to me. Also yes to the jaxie thing. Sorry op stick with George orbs k to the drawing board!
