Is this name getting too popular?

[tellmesomethingreal]

Heard it recently and really like it but worried it might suddenly get too 20 popular?

Huxley

I want something different and cool but keep seeing it suggested or people using it so am not sure?

Jaxon nn Jax would be cute
Rex is also nice (on Modern Family Mitch and Cam called their baby boy Rexford nn Rex which I liked, or you could do Rexley?)
Caston (no x but for some reason I find it similar)
Max
Felix
Dexter
Baxter
Fox (rising in popularity)
Lux
I also like Huxley / Hux so go for it if you do too

Tbh it just makes me think about that YouTube family.
Also bizarrely reminds me of Huxtable which was the surname in that Bill Cosby show.
Sorry. You did ask.

Really love lux and fox but wanted a longer name that can be shortened really. I've never heard of Huxley pig so no idea what that is?!

Absolutely love it! Go for it!

Noooo He'll get called Huxley Pig at school. Bound to be a new improved version of the popular animated TV series out. It was based on some books by Rodney Peppé and was around late 80s/early 90s when my friend's boy was little. Had to suffer it a lot.

Just to add you can find some on You Tube

I love Baxter

It might have a bit of a ‘moment’ but I very much doubt it will ever go top 20, or even top 100. In the current data the highest surname-style boys’ name is Harrison at #34. Jaxon is #46 and Jackson is #80.

I like it - I don't know any. I also like Axel.

Makes me think of Huxley Motorsport but that's because I use them regularly for my drifter. I did have it on my boys list though, however we had a girl. I like it!

I quite like the name Dexter despite the vigilante serial killer connotations

As in 'Huxley's pig' ?

Oh no, it's a child's name. But it's not a man's name, don't saddle the poor did with that for life. It can't even be shortened to anything decent.

Don,t choose Lux thats worse then Huxley. (Yep I am named after a soap.)

I think it will be one of those names that is never insanely popular but could increase in popularity a bit because it's a very modern surnamey sounding sort of name. I could definitely imagine more than one in a class. I think it sounds awful though.

Huckleberry?

When I think of that name I immediately think of the YouTuber who 'rehomed' a child that she adopted from China.

It's strange how a name holds a meaning for many. For that reason I personally wouldn't use it. Although obviously some people do follow what 'influencer's' on YouTube use and so will.

Sawollya: What were that Youtuber's other children called?

I was just reading this - the siblings are Nakova, Jaka (girls), Radley, and Onyx (boys).

Onyx looks cool, but I imagine would be hard for children to pronounce.

All sound like precription medications

The soap is the latin for light.
So lux and rex have a bit more gravitas than say knox, lennox or huxley. But that is jmo of course

I know a dog called Huxley. Didn't really like it on him either...

If you like X sound, how about:

Alexander / Xander / Alex
Xavier
Maximilian / Maximus / Max
Rex
Jackson (although it's deemed as chavvy in some places)

No, I don't think it's too popular or will become so.

I just don't like it much.

This is so difficult! I do love the name and I'm due very soon so need to decide but it's hard. I love Hux and Huck but HATE Lee so would hate that nickname.

I can't use some of the great names mentioned as others in family have so no to dexter or max or Alex sadly.

I really don't think people will link to the pig as I had never heard of it (mid 30s) the YouTube couple does bother me though as it's so current and heartbreaking.

I like lux and fox and rex but ultimately don't feel like they sound like 'full' names somehow?

Maddox

I do love Maddox but what nicknames could you have?

Not sure, madx?? Not every child needs a nickname though
My child’s nickname isn’t anything related to her name

That's true, it could be anything! I'm a big believer in nicknames being important social cues that signal belonging and bonding etc though so want something that can be shortened! Maybe Dax as a nn? Why are baby names so hard!?
