Come on Carrie, we know you've already had it.

Inconnu · 29/04/2020 16:58

Max

YoungBritishPissArtist · 29/04/2020 16:59

I prefer Jackson to Jaxon

FluffyEggsontoast · 29/04/2020 17:00

Jaxon but love both

FluffyEggsontoast · 29/04/2020 17:00
  • Jaxson sorry
MikeUniformMike · 29/04/2020 17:00

Maxson would be a good compromise.

Nighting · 29/04/2020 17:01

'Jaxson' is illiterate. 'Jackson' or 'Jaxon', if you absolutely must.

Max is a nice name. Go with Max.

MrsBungle · 29/04/2020 17:02

Max is nice. I would spell Jaxson as either Jackson or Jaxon. The s seems errant to me.

Gin4thewin · 29/04/2020 17:02

I have a Max, i like Jaxon aswell though. It suits my lad down to the ground, i couldn't imagine him being anything else and i dont think it would suit him anyway

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 29/04/2020 17:04

What about the Welsh Macsen?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 29/04/2020 17:07

Max

lakeswimmer · 29/04/2020 17:09

Max or Jackson

Not Jaxson

schnubbins · 29/04/2020 17:09

Max

CodenameVillanelle · 29/04/2020 17:10

Jackson

DramaAlpaca · 29/04/2020 17:12

Max. It's classless, timeless and dignified. Jaxson isn't any of those things.

Abraid2 · 29/04/2020 17:14

Mac

OwlBasket · 29/04/2020 17:14

Max. 100%

BoswellsBollocks · 29/04/2020 17:14

If you use it please don’t spell it Jaxson, use Jackson or Jaxon.

But I prefer Max.

maa1992 · 29/04/2020 17:15

I love both but Max is my favourite

AgeLikeWine · 29/04/2020 17:17

Max or, if you must, Jackson.

Jaxson is rather ‘the opposite of posh’.

SallyWD · 29/04/2020 17:17

Max is sooo much better than Jaxson.

Heartbeeps · 29/04/2020 17:19

Max

Yesterdayforgotten · 29/04/2020 17:19

Dont like Jax. Max is better out the two.

Troels · 29/04/2020 17:22

Max, I have a Max, I have loved his name since the night before he was born. he was going to be Cameron, so wrong for him
My Max has a longer version on his birth certificate.

Neednewwellies · 29/04/2020 17:22

Use Jaxson and you will be judged, rightly or wrongly, by lots of people around you including his teachers. Go for either Max or Jackson.
