Jaxon

[Harrypotterthor]

Any thoughts?

Horrible, if you have to at least spell it Jackson

Awful.

Chav version of Jackson surely?

Chavvy.

Chav name and spelling

Absolutely hate this name

That spelling is chavvy as all heck. Needs to be Jackson, if at all.

There has never been a well behaved Jaxon or variation of. Expect them to be excluded, get a surron e bike, and just wear black head to toe. Your house will smell like weed.

The sort of name given to a poor child by some poorly educated mother, star struck by the stupid names given to babies by celebs.

Frankly awful

It sounds ok but the spelling? No. Its like a few names with weird spellings. Jole and Jaycob for instance

just spell it normally - Jackson

Jackson is nice.

There's a lot of sniffing about "American" names here, but the tradition of surnames as names is actually Scottish, and it wasn't unusual even in England in Victorian times.

I don't like Jaxon. In the US it would indicate parents who are not well educated, and probably in the UK too. It would be a shame to send a child into the world with that sort of image to live down.

And yes, as an Irish person, the jax means the loo.

The name is ok, the spelling is awful.

I’m usually a stickler for traditional names, kings of England for boys, possibly saints, but I have always liked this one. I think it’s a good solid name and the chav accusations are unpleasant and off the mark.

It's a tacky name which will date awfully. It's also the kind of name which sends a chill up a teacher's spine when they see it in their class list for the next year.

I worked with someone whose son's name was Jaxon. I must admit to having been (silently) horrified when I learnt how it was spelt. It looks like a brand of loo cleaner.

It’s an awful name but that spelling is atrocious.

Thread is from May 2024 so little Jaxon, if OP went for it, has presumably arrived in the world and been named.

Not my personal choice because I wouldn’t choose the American surname trend, and I don’t favour made up spellings.

But people like different things, I manage not to have a snobbery outbreak, if you love it, great!

THUNK! To self. ZOMBIE!

I know one Jaxon - his mother is only 19 so I guess that helps explain it.

Klaxon.

Dont be so silly, you sound like Katie Hopkins.

Any teacher who says they don't have a good idea which kids are going to be hard work just by reading the register is fibbing. I'm yet to meet a well behaved Kayden, Hayden, Jayden, Alfie or Archie and I'm yet to meet a well behaved Jaxon.

And just like everyone knows how old Tracey is before meeting her, everyone will also know how old Jaxon is.

And what are you implying by this comment exactly?
