Is Dax too American?

[doritotos]

I'm really keen on names that have an X or the nickname could possibly have the letter X.

I know Daxton exists but not sure I like it. Doesn't feel like a real name for some reason. I feel Dax is just easy, simple and very straightforward but I'm wondering if it might be too American or forever be linked to Dax Shepard

Dax make hair care products. If somebody told me their child was named Dax I would just think of Dax Wax.

The only one I ever met, it was his nickname. His real name was Dale and he was Australian.

Xander?
Xavier?
Alex?

I hadn’t heard of Dax, but if that’s what you want to call your dc, then it’ll be beautiful.

Vax?
It's a no from me.

Dexter? Shortened to Dex?
Xavier
Xander
Jaxon/Jackson shortened to Jax?

I don’t know who Dax Shepherd is, but it makes me think of the hair wax.

Makes me think of the red laundry detergent (Daz).

Personally I think it sounds unfinished? As if you were to name a child Nat?

It sounds like some household cleaning product. Sorry.

I have some Dax hair stuff on my dressing table. Can't really get past that tbh...

I know a Xander and a Xavier. I am in the USA and you could get away with it here but it would be unusual. In a UK context I think it does sound like a brand name. On the other hand if you love it ignore everyone else! 😄

Trekkies (Star Trek fans ) will know the name as it's a character on Deep Space 9. To me it also has the ring of a James Bond baddie, so not my cup of tea. As a young child there would be the risk of it turning into the nickname Dax-ie, which is just downright horrible.

How about Rex?

It's a product, not a name.

Yes. Sounds like a dog's name.

Mind you I did know a little boy called Amari and that is also retro hair product. So it could work....

I know a Dax, he is 42. It's of French origin and means leader, I say go for it

I don't think you can pin this on the Americans.

What does it mean? Do you like the meaning, or doesn't it have one, you just like the sound?

I strongly diskike it. I like Rex and Max but Dax sounds ridiculous in my opinion.

Dax makes me think of the symbiont from Star Trek

Dax was the name of the being that lived inside Curzon, then Jadzia, then Ezri

It's a cool name especially if you are a Star Trek fan.

Female Star Trek character, Dax. Daxton is bloody awful!

For me it's too IKEA, but its personal preference.

Daxtopher has a certain ring to it.

Bill Bailey's son is called Dax; he was named after the Star Trek character.

I love it but it's the name of the coding language that Power Bi uses and I'm an Analyst
