Jaxson - just no.

lalafafa · 29/04/2020 18:45

Jaxson is the naughty boy name

helpmum2003 · 29/04/2020 18:48

Max

Wheresthebiffer2 · 29/04/2020 19:25

How about Michael?

Anappleaday1 · 29/04/2020 19:28

Definitely Max!

coronabeer23 · 29/04/2020 19:28

Max is nice if not rather ubiquitous, every other child here is a Max.

Jackson isn’t great but Jaxon / Jaxson is just horrific, please don’t do it to a child

Alonelonelyloner · 29/04/2020 19:58

I don't like either but Jaxson just looks illiterate and if was used a hundred or more years ago in the US then it probably was!

(That's a joke, sorry).

If you must use Jaxon or Jackson.

But they will as said above be the Darrens of their generation.

Max is number 20 for bounty boys names 2019.

It was never that high, for years, top 50 admittedly, but.....

KatherineJaneway · 29/04/2020 21:11

Max or Jackson

Not Jaxson

This ^^

Don't embarrass your son.

anotherypasswordtoremember · 29/04/2020 21:52

10000% Max.

Jackson/Jackson etc I find quite annoying as names.

finallychangedmyusername · 29/04/2020 21:54

Max. Absolutely.

The turn of which century?

InFiveMins · 29/04/2020 22:02

Max. Jaxon/Jackson is terrible.

IamChipmunk · 29/04/2020 22:10

Max. Im biased as i have one!
It was in the top 20 when we picked it but interesingly there isnt another one in his school (primary) although there is usually another at whatever soft play we are at!! And often dogs which always amuses him!
He is just Max on his BC.

I think that people might struggle with the spelling for Jaxson. I have a relatively common name but with an alternate spelling and it is a pain in the backside to repeatedly spell out your name / have your name misspelled on things.

IFancyANamechange · 29/04/2020 22:18

Max is my favourite boys name.

Agree with others, Jaxon or Jackson. Jackson will be easier for him.

AsCoolAsLangCleg · 29/04/2020 22:23

I like Max but there are a lot of them about. Jaxson is ugly and people will think you're illiterate.

Yesterdayforgotten · 30/04/2020 09:25

Jax and kit are those new wave 'cool' names but I dislike them and think they sound awful. Each to their own though...

babynamelover · 30/04/2020 09:31

Max, Maurice Sendak :)

midsomermurderess · 30/04/2020 11:21

Jaxon will mark you and your baby, class wise, whether you are anyone else likes it.

user1493494961 · 30/04/2020 22:36

Max, Jaxson is awful, very downmarket.

Mucklowe · 30/04/2020 22:49

Jaxson is awful! With that spelling it should be pronounced "Jacks-son".

Max is cute.

zscaler · 01/05/2020 09:21

I much prefer Max.

If you do go with Jaxson I would spell it Jackson.

Strugglingtodomybest · 01/05/2020 09:23

Love Max, hate Jaxson. Reminds me of claxon.
