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

It's a great middle name for Curzon or Jadzia!

My nephew is a Dax. Initially we thought it was a bit out there. But we are used to it now! 😁🤣

Is your surname Hunt?

I'm with @VirginWestCoast

I don't think you can pin this on Americans.
I've never heard of it and I've heard some "interesting" names.

OP--Your child, your choice!

According to Dax Shepard’s Wikipedia page:

“According to Shepard, his mother named him for the rich playboy Dax (Diogenes Alejandro Xenos), in Harold Robbins' novel The Adventurers.”

Dax is the name of the German stock market index. It’s like calling your child FTSE or Dow.

Sounds like a household cleaner.

@Somethingfishy I knew there was something stocky about that name, thank you! I know a Rex, which is ok.

@Somethingnasty rather!

I much prefer Max

Star Trek character.

Dax reminds me of the baby that was born prematurely in nyc and the dad did a big go fund me campaign despite getting paid out by insurance. He was a pretty dubious character iirc!

How about Jax?

If you like the x ending

Max, Rex, Felix, Knox, Jax, Maddox, Lennox, Lex, Fox, Alex, Dex

I like Maxton or Jax.

Thanks for the comments.

Max - One of my best friends is called this and I don't think I could have two Maxs my life
Jaxon/Jackson - I'm not too keen on it
Dexter - I can't get past Dexter the cartoon or the serial killer from the show (great show though!)
Rex - I actually really like this
Xander - Reminds me of the word 'salamander' every single time I'm not sure why
Xavier - I would love it if only I could get away with the Spanish pronunciation instead of the usual English ones

I know I have something to say about every single name but I do appreciate the inputs.

Rex is definitely an option now though, so that was a great suggestion

I love Dax Shepherd 😍

But not the name. It’s terrible. Dexter, Dex for short?

Oh I’m so sorry, there’s two pages, didn’t realise! Ignore my dexter suggestion. Rex is cool.

Axel
Huxley
Phoenix
Maximus
Hendrix
Maxwell

Dax awful, sorry.
Rex lovely but a bit doggy!
Felix, Max, Axel all v cool IMO

I know a toddler girl named Dax she's around 3. She's cute with curly hair and messy clothes, it really suited her I thought. Unsure if that was just her name or if it was short for something

Declan with the nickname Dex (though Decky is a more common nn where I’m from).

It’s the name of a small town in southern France.

I knew a Dax when I was a kid but haven't come across it since. I like it.

I know a little boy called Paxton, which is pretty cool.

Dax is a gorgeous name :)
