Klaxon

[WomenHaveBabiesNow]

I heard this name recently and love that it is both of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in Claxton and also Ancient Greek κλάζω (klázō, “make a sharp sound; scream”).

For a boy of course. Thoughts?

You cannot be serious

That it means “make a sharp sound; scream” gives it a unisex quality which I appreciate.

It’s a word. No more a name than, say, ‘Radiator’

I quite like it!

No. It sounds like a character from Star Trek.

Aw c'mon.
You can't do that to a child.

Jackson is very similar

Poor child !

😂

Would have suited DD. She was loud.

Pregnancy is hard....and some might feel like they hate the baby and wish to seek revenge on it. ..

But don't make permanent decions on temporary feelings.

What about Paxo or Oxo?

Absolutely awful

All kinds of no. Klaxon doesn't come from any of the words you listed there, they're all different words, and in etymology that actually matters so it's just a nonsense amalgam that happens to also be the word we use for things that sound a bit like a big fire alarm.

Caxton would be better. It was the name of the first printing press so at least it's an object that people feel pleasantly towards.

It’s not a name
and it would be dreadful to be used on a child

OP I take it you’ve been on the ‘chav’ names thread??

I think OP saw it on the “chav” names thread

Totes.

I thought it was the call to a boil popping video

It isn't even a surname.

Surnames are used as first names by very many chavs people.

But Klaxon even fails to come into this category.

Caxton would be better. It was the name of the first printing press so at least it's an object that people feel pleasantly towards.

Cax for short? 🤣

a brother to Siren, i presume.

I like it.

In fact if I have a boy I’m going to use it to go with my 8-year-old daughter Megaphone (pronounced like Persephone - ‘Meg-af-enny’) and Lowdhayler, who’s a son, 11, and really enjoys Forest School.

Air horn is prettier, if baby is a girl.
