Thoughts on the name Ajax??

[JammieDodger94]

I know it's known as a cleaning product etc etc but that doesn't bother me. I think I quite like it as it's unique.

What are your thoughts on Ajax?
Nickname AJ

Goes with my other little one so Otis and Ajax?

Pronounced A-Jacks or I-axe?

How is the existing name Ajax unique!?

Don’t do it love. Literally every adult he meets will think ‘cleaning product’. It’s not even a nice sound.

Isn’t it a cleaning product ?

Nooooooo it’s a bathroom cleaner

Cleaning product or a football team!

He was also a hero of the Trojan war if that helps.

Cleaner. Football team. No.

I would go for AJ as a name over Ajax.

Have you been watching “ Wednesday” ? 😊

Not only is it a cleaning product (!!!!!) it is also a football team.

Lots better names out there.

I hope he grows up full.of vim

It's actually a name of a great warrior from the story of the Trojan war.

But everyone knows it as a cleaning product. Don't do it OP.

Personally unless you have a weird and wonderful name for your first born, you can't give your second born an unusual one.

Bleach or football team!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought “isn’t that a cleaning product?!”

A Jack's

Well I wouldn’t think cleaning product but I would think Amsterdam’s football team 🤷🏼‍♀️

To me it has to strong connections to cleaning and football. I don't like it

This was why I liked it

I suppose it's a nicer name than Toilet Duck...

I went to school with a boy called Ajay - his was culturally an Indian name, so it may seem slightly odd if you have no Indian heritage or connections; but still infinitely better than Ajax (sorry).

But it's not unique it's a cleaning product?!

Otis is lovely. Don't let your pregnancy hormones do this to his younger brother. Give this child a name that's actually a name and not a cleaning product as well.

Just use Mr Muscle as a nickname.

If you like AJ, what about finding names that suit those initials?

😂

As the parent of a teen with a slightly unusual name, I would say NO NO NO - do not do it!! Your child will hate you for it when they are a bit older (mine is not happy with their name, at all…)

It's a toilet cleaner from years ago .

Following your update of the pronunciation I’d probably think ‘WTF’? honestly. I never thought I’d say this but Jax / Jaxson would be a better alternative with the same sound. Or something like Aidan Jax if you want to use AJ.

Are you mid pregnancy? I came up with some absolute corkers. My now teens are horrified by what the were nearly called. Ajax is even worse than my ideas to be fair.
