Saxon?

[Tabbsi]

For a boy. Thoughts?

Daxton is too close to Dachshund.

I've also only once met a Saxon. She was very much female.

I knew a lovely jack russell named Saxon, he thought he was a great Dane.

Saxon is a great name for a big strong dog
Daxon sounds like a breed of dog.
Jaxon- just No.
So that's three Nos from me.

You have sounded the klaxon!

Please don’t…

A truly awful name.

Honestly it sounds likes like the name of a town not a person. Sorry!

I’ve got a Saxon 🙋🏻‍♀️

Definitely not bullied at school (and is now a teenager) and no-one has ever tried to change it to anything else.

We are definitely not white supremacists 😂 I’d met two adult Saxon’s before having DS though. I really liked them both, and that probably had an influence on my choice. I’ve met one other since DS was born, he was a few years younger.

I still love the name and get compliments on it quite frequently. It suits him and he is never mixed up with other children at school.

Definite white supremacist vibes. Strong no from me.

I agree with PP that a Saxon name like Harold or Alfred is better.

The Aldi toilet paper is a shame and would put me off.

I know a Dexter (Dex) who is 18 and never been called Sex so I wouldn’t be put off by Sax and Sex being close.

Unfortunately it’s a difficult name to pull off if he’s petite and not the gym going type. If he’s blonde then he could get some white supremacist comments too.

😁 I guess he's really working that Big Dog Energy.

Awful. Although there is a boy at DC's school called Cosmo so it could be worse!

Love it

Cosmo is much better than Saxon.
It's an actual name for a start, if unusual. It's been used in the UK for centuries.

Ah haha @WitcheryDivine yes Paxton Hall-Yoshida! Love him!

I was just coming here to suggest "Klaxon" as THE name ...

Sax-On,Sax-Off - it's weirdly Karate Kid that comes to mind?
No from me.

Heavy metal band from a long time ago!
Motörhead?

Jimberly!

Oi Saxon is not dodgy.
But yeah, first ring was a HM band.
I'd go with something more traditional

White supremacist vibes

Agreed. Loved the name olde English name ‘Wulfric’ (Wolfy for short) too, but as DH is a big hairy metalhead/biker, we decided we didn’t want it to have any of those connotations - even though couldn’t be further from the truth!

I really like it! Defo couldn’t it though, now I know Elon Musk has a son with that name.

Like the hair rock band?
