Saxon for a boy?

[wildflower8888]

I love it, but would like opinions.

If you don't like it, why not? Generally would like opinions ☺️

Its a no from me - 80s heavy metal band is the first thing that cam to mind

Was just about to say the same.

Saxon, Angle, Jute, Dane, Norman, none of them good names imo.

@KirstenBlest

Norman is better

I do like Frank though.

I've only ever heard it as a surname.
I don't mind some surnames as first names though like Parker, Fletcher and Wilson. Not as keen on Saxon but if you like it, why not?!

How about Jaxon?

Tutor = Tudor.

Tudor is a Welsh name meaning God's gift. Lovely name.

It’s not a name.

Although I guess you could go with “Salty” as a nickname!

Seriously though, don’t do this to a kid. It’s try hard and makes you sound like someone who’s never read a book in their life.

It’s a woman’s name to me, I know a woman named Saxon, I think it’s such a strong name for a girl, shame it’s been taken over by WS I did not know that until I read it on this thread

Oh im glad another female Saxon has popped up.

Honestly, it really suits her

I get the white supremacy thing too.

Sorry. Dog's name. Knew a Paxton

I teach one!

If you have more offspring you could name them:
Jute, Angle, Goth and Vandal. Or go further back with Roman!

Or Norman!

Also knew a Tudor at school. Really nice lad.

It's not for everyone, but Oh I love it, it's a name for a boy destined for great things

I don’t like it because:
1)white supremacy
2) it’s not a name
3) will get shortened to sax or sax I.e sex/sexy. Or Sak potentially which isn’t any better.
4) means dagger or short sword, just doesn’t seem cute for a baby.

I don't see why not. Tudor is a name. People call their sons Roman. Norman is a totally established, if rather unfashionable, name. Saxon works just as well as any of these. Personally, I quite like Jute!

It wouldn't work for me though. Celt through and through here!

I'm sorry, my first thought was also white supremacy.

I don’t see why it’s not a name, in an age where not-names are used all the time. There have been people called Saxon - Saxon Sidney Turner for one, the only issue for me is the white supremacy angle.

Saxon Jenkins is another.

Dp had a friend called Saxon at university. I really like it.

Saxon sofas...
Old.people sofas

It's a no from me
