Saxon?

[Tabbsi]

For a boy. Thoughts?

I get your thoughts - since Jaxon is popular, then why not Saxon? 2 reasons - sadly possible white supremacy links (Anglo-Saxon); but just as likely that many think it’s not the best idea for go for a name that’s only one letter from “Sexon” once boys become pre-teens/teenagers imo.

But if it’s the strong “X” sound you are after then I think Axel is becoming more popular?

No Op sorry.

Socks-on
Sacks-on
Sex-on, Sex-off

Sorry Op i think there are too many ways for it to become a joke. And I've never heard of the band.

Even worse, my cousin named hers Paxton.

Everyone in the family like WTF?!

Is Paxton not a make of gravy granules or fish dressing - I'm sure its a food brand of some description, or am I thinking of something similar?

I love it! Manly & strong sounding name

I know someone with that surname and he's nicknamed sacko

Objectively though, I've no idea why it's not a good name. Like Sharon. Really strong name

Anglo saxon

Google is my friend the name I'm thinking of is Paxo - Sage & Onion stuffing, and yes they also make gravy and fish dressing.

It's a bit close for my liking - whoops!

No, but Zach or Max are similar and lovely names.

How about with a middle name?
Saxon Thing
Saxon Puriteigh
Saxon Invasion
Saxon Noisavni
Saxon Bludline

Agreed White power connotations.
Probably worth a rethink.

First thought is his brother Norman. Next thought Dr Who baddie. Third thought white supremacist.

Not if you live near the shore way

Giving strong Alan Partridge vibes

A bit odd how many pps are going to "one vowel or letter away from sex". He'd likely be called Sax as nickname. Don't be weird. I don't think adult females should be jumping to assume what teenage boys would use for a shortening when throughly his early and middle childhood he'd probably get all the way through as Sax. There's been many John Thomases, Dicks and Willys throughout time, stop reaching
A friend of mine has an older kid called Sixx. He's never been referred to as "sex(x)". Give yourselves a shake weirdos.
Heaven forfend if anyone tried to float Fanny as a historical name. I think Mumsnet entire might have a collective seizure.
Many people use "Minnie/y" as name for down there. Fifi etc. I guess people on here just love to pick apart anything they can nowadays. It's easy bait for the bored 🙄

I do like the name.

However, if the bearer of that name grows up to be not particularly physically fit, it may seem odd.

Maybe I'm wrong, but Saxon is such a strong sounding name, that if conjures up an image of say, a gladiatorial type figure.

Also (unfortunately) it can sound like a good name for a big strong dog 🤭

It is!
But, what if Saxon grew up to be a willowy gentle adult?

My thoughts are a giant no to Saxon. Or any -xon name. Or X.

Saxon is a great name

But more suited to a dog

Saxon is okay but I have heard of a boy called Saxton from New Zealand.
I like Saxton as a name.

Paxton is a character in the Netflix series Never Have I Ever. Always reminds me of stuffing too.

I know someone who had a beast of a dog named Saxon.

Were you watching White Lotus last night by any chance?
