Jaxson?

[Mylasmummy2102]

Is Jaxson (jax) too much like jack we like the name but have a nephew called jack we don't know if it's to similar?

I can't stand threads like this.

You are just inviting snobs.

Call your child what you like.

It's Jackson spelt wrong.

It's Jackson spelt wrong.

Spelled differently.

@TwilightSkies

By ‘chavvy’ do you mean working-class?

Probably that is what was meant. But honestly with the massive class prejudice we have in this country I wouldn't want to sadle a child with something which people could potentially see as working class or chavvy or whatever.

It's god awful, is what it is. Don't do it.

@TwilightSkies

By ‘chavvy’ do you mean working-class?

Nope. Working class does not equal chav.

Jackson is not good.
The responses you get on here on Jaxon and Jaxson are going to be what RL people will think.

Jacksy/Jaxi/Jaxsy as a nn?

Jack is great.

Jaxon and all its variants are awful. Sorry.

I’ve got to agree with everyone above. It’s awful. Jackson is bad but Jaxson is taking it to another depth. Sorry.

Jaxson looks like you don’t know how to spell.

No, it's awful.

If you absolutely insist then spell it Jackson. Which is still pretty terrible.

Jack is lovely. Jackson is a surname. Jaxson is even worse.

I really hate all of these surname first names that have come into fashion. Harrison is the worst.

Feel free to pile on and tell me I'm wrong, I don't care. They're naff and sound shit.

It would be a bit like naming a girl Gennifer

I don’t associate ‘chavvy’ with working class.

It's not a good name. And he'd spend his life correcting the spelling.

Sorry but it reads like klaxon.

Jaxon I would pronounce Jackson.

Jaxson I would pronounce Jack’s son. There’s a double s sound in there.

Jackson is better.

This remi ds me of being on the maternity ward with dc. In the bed opposite was a couple with their beautiful baby. Lots of phone calls to tell families the good news of the baby arriving safely. All I could hear, over and over again on each phone call... "We're calling her Maddison...... No, it's, just one d and one s so we don't have to explain to people how to spell it". 5 minutes later We're calling her Maddison...... No, it's, just one d and one s so we don't have to explain to people how to spell it" and again We're calling her Maddison...... No, it's, just one d and one s so we don't have to explain to people how to spell it". Just spell it Maddison as then you won't have to explain to people how to spell it!! 😂

I did have a lot of gas and air and very little sleep.

My son is called Jaxson, no regrets here! We loved the name Jax and didn’t want Jackson to be shortened to Jack

My dog's best friend is called Jaxson - he is daft as a brush, just like her!!
He might shorten it to jack as he grows up - would that be a problem?

Your problem isn’t whether it’s too similar to Jack.

Your problem is the hideous X in Jackson. It will tarnish your poor child’s name in a way which will instantaneously -rightly or wrongly - draw sneers from people, to whom - rightly or wrongly- it will come across as a Younique name.

Ps hope my lovely son never has to meet any of you ladies and I’m not chavvy at all!

Horrendous. Don't.

It looks like a misspelling of Jackson. Jackson is a surname.

Nooooooo

Jackson nn Jack is grand, so is John or Jonathan nn Jack, but not Jaxon. It has a really really down market vibe and it will do him no favours in life.

Alternatives - Jacob/Jake, Joseph/Joe - or Josiah/Jonah/Jonas nn Jo/e, Joel, Jude, Jesse, Jethro...

Although I do prefer Jaxon, my husband insisted on the ‘s’

I see a lot of babies and their families in my job.
Steer well clear of this name.
