Any thoughts?

I'm a teacher. Sooo many Jaxson, Jaxon, Jacksxon(yep!), Jaylen, Jayden, etc. 95% of them are from really feral families.

WHYYY would you take a normal name like Jackson and fuck it up with that weird spelling? It makes my brain itch.

spanieleyes · 11/05/2024 04:42

I know a Jackson, Jaxon and Jaqson. Much prefer the first!

SlothsNeverGetIll · 11/05/2024 04:45

Hideous. Sorry.

Cuckoochanel80 · 11/05/2024 05:21

Eurrgh, no, horrible. Chavvy and cringeworthy.

Awful and very common now. We get at least one a week at work. Not as bad as Jaxxon though.

Why, what job do you do?

Awful name, trashy and common. Sounds more American trailer park than chavy to me. Honestly do some parents hate their children and want others to prejudge them?

Weird. When I named my daughter I picked a name that work for any career, accountant, ballerina, farmer or judge. It’s still an unusual name, without the need for funny spelling to be ‘different’.

To me it’s like the modern equivalent of Wayne.

Awful! Jaxon the claxon! It’s an ugly name IMO. I don’t like Jackson either because it reminds me of jacksy and I dislike surnames being used as forenames.

All those similar “-on” ending names sound ugly to me, and americanised.

RightOnTheEdge · 11/05/2024 07:46

Sorry, I think it's chavvy as well.
Jackson is better.

catlady7 · 11/05/2024 07:46

I like it

Xyz1234567 · 11/05/2024 07:51

In the spirit of Eurovision, it's a definite nul points.

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 11/05/2024 08:41

Honestly, in my experience they are naughty....

Toddlerteaplease · 11/05/2024 08:42

@Harrypotterthor Paediatric nurse. We are all very cynical about names.

CJ0374 · 10/05/2024 21:39

I know a Jaxson and also a Jaxx, both about 8, but neither live in the UK. Compared to Jaxx, which sounds like a cleaning product, Jaxson is better.
What about Jack, or even William with nn Jack?

How the heck do you get the nn Jack from William?! 🤔🤣

ClipClopperDontStopper · 11/05/2024 10:50

I think Jackson is fine. The Jaxon spelling is so very ugly though.

CJ0374 · 11/05/2024 11:13

@IOweMySanityToBasilParsley My mistake! An elderly relatives name is William but he goes by Jack. I only found out today that his 1st name is actually John with middle name William!
Ignore me OP. 😬

IOweMySanityToBasilParsley · 11/05/2024 11:20

@CJ0374 aah, understandable then. I did wonder how you'd got there 🤣

Cuckoochanel80 · 14/05/2024 23:09

Jacksxon?? God, some of these spellings. Why would you do this to a poor child? Wee mites will never stand a chance. Sorry but there's no excuse.

mlc0 · 14/05/2024 23:12

My friend has a baby (nearly 1) with the spelling jaxon and I love it

Heatedblanky · 14/05/2024 23:20

It sounds downmarket to me and I really wouldn’t do it - rightly or wrongly a huge number of people will judge him as soon as they hear his name.

Then they are stupid as it is the parents that named him. Not himself.

Marblessolveeverything · 15/05/2024 22:59

Jax is slang for toilet here 🤦‍♀️

No
