For a boy. Thoughts?

Ouch! No

CeliaCanth · 17/02/2025 22:10

Plenty, but none of them positive unfortunately.

ChitterChatter1987 · 17/02/2025 22:10

I really love it! Unusual but has a nice ring to it and doesn't sound too 'out there' or dated.I actually went to school with a boy named saxon (late 90s)

HabitHoarder · 17/02/2025 22:11

Just go with Daxton . Saxon is a bit odd.

SnakesAndArrows · 17/02/2025 22:12

Absolutely not. It’s an Aldi toilet roll and a dodgy 1980s heavy metal band.

Roman is a name, as is Norman, so why not Saxon? Beats Viking for sure and if you like it, then go for it.

Moreteaandchocolate · 17/02/2025 22:12

Not too keen, I prefer Jackson.

GretchenWienersHair · 17/02/2025 22:13

It’s a no from me.

100PercentFaithful · 17/02/2025 22:13

Elon Musk has a son called that.
Personally I’m not keen. It sounds more like a period in history than a name.

AwakeNotThruChoice · 17/02/2025 22:14

No.
And definitely not Sackson

DappledThings · 17/02/2025 22:15

It's the dog in Hot Fuzz.

What will his siblings be? Celt and Angle?

Sometimeswinning · 17/02/2025 22:19

He’d be called Sax for short. We’re one vowel away from sex. He’ll be destroyed at school! Jaxon instead?

CarpetKnees · 17/02/2025 22:20

Another no from me.

Greenfencebrowntree · 17/02/2025 22:20

Like Elon Musk's son. Sounds (unrelatedly) like something an American white supremacist would name their child.

Mrsp2b33 · 17/02/2025 22:21

I love it!!!

Growlybear83 · 17/02/2025 22:21

Saxon???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Don't be cruel!

ThatThisThatYou · 17/02/2025 22:21

Ball Saxon. That’s what he’ll be called at school.

Yes I thought this too

foreverbasil · 17/02/2025 22:39

My picture didn't post. Not sure if it's a delay following all the issues. It was a photo of the band Saxon....which is the first thing I thought of....sadly

CakeIsNotAvailable · 17/02/2025 22:39

I'd just think about the Doctor Who baddie every time I saw him. It's a no from me!

WitcheryDivine · 17/02/2025 22:41

It’s an Alsatian in Hot Fuzz.

For a person it depends whether you’re white supremacists? If you’re not, do you want to sound like you are?

sorry OP back to the drawing board I think.

LuluBlakey1 · 17/02/2025 22:42

Awful.

Me too.

IdaGlossop · 17/02/2025 22:44

I have only once met a Saxon. I like it. Solid, unusual, definitely male.
