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

I love it too. Guilty pleasures are the best

Up your jacksie springs to mind which is Cockney rhyming slang for arse.

OP, have you changed username mid way through this post? Confused me for a minute!

Some Jacquelines that I know are shortened to 'Jax'. As pp have said, Jax George doesn't flow well. I think two one syllable names together sound abrupt so would go for Jackson maybe.

It is slang for arse but it isn't Cockney rhyming slang for it.

Jacksie for me, too. Sorry.

Jax George really isn't great. Loads of good alternatives on his thread, though.

I know a Jackson nn Jax and a baby who is actually called Jax, his mum picked the name as her other dc have unusual names and wanted to be different but I don't think it's as unusual as she thinks!
I quite like it, better than jack.
Don't think George goes with it though and I love the name.

It is according to: www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jacksie and septicscompanion.com/showcat.php?cat=thebody

I always thought the Irish use of "jax/Jack's" was similar to the American "the John/jaaahn" .

Bloody awful. I wouldn't take anyone (or their parents) with a name like that seriously. Sorry but that's just my opinion.

Jaxon is becoming very popular now, not my taste, very modern American but George is lovely, timeless

Neither urban dictionary or the other one are what you would call reputable sources (which say it originated in the19th century from Jack)

Gah, Katie you're joking! Butchered spelling of Anastasia too?! I was going to name my daughter Anastasia. Then I met a "Stacci" type in secondary school and discovered Stacey was like totally like short for like Anastaaaaazia (pronounced in horrid American twang). Put me right off the name. Though I did use the proper nickname of Anastasia for a cat later in life - Nastia. That cat wasn't no Stacey.

Aby I only wish I was joking

Jack is much nicer in my opinion, I like George

I automatically thought 'Sons of Anarchy'...

Arsehole character from SOA

Not old enough to remember Ajax scourer, (ask your Gran!)

My neighbours dog is called jax. It's a horrible wee thing.
Jax George - nope.
I always try to envision these kids in professional jobs introducing themselves.

Lol pretty sure I've read a book with that as a heros name recently

Jax is slang for toilet
Jaxie slang for arse

So for those reasons I'm a no

I don't mind it. Will it be Jaxon?
Reminds me of the main charecter in Son's of Anarchy.

I love the name and am going to be calling my son Jax too. We have had some negative comments about it but we didn't want a really common name like Jack (although it's a lovely name) I really like George too but agree it should probably have a name in between as Jax George is a bit tricky to say. Then again, if you like it, go for it, as most people have said, middle names are hardly used anyway!

This is a zombie thread. I would say that Jax is 'common' too, but not in the way you mean.

I'd kick that one up the jaxy

Ah lovely name @NEW123MUM ❤️ Excellent choice. This is a zombie thread though! Very old
