Baby Names

Is just "Jax" okay for a FN?

I don't really like "Jaxon" but like the NN Jax. I don't know why spelling it Jackson turns me off a bit, but it does. We named our oldest just Bella because we didn't like the NN "Izzy". Kind of the same reasoning here I feel.

So is just Jax ok? I feel like this is what we'd call him no matter which spelling we went with.

  • I guess it could work, but I'm over the jackson/jaxon/jax trend

  • No.

    Use Jax as a NN for any name. Problem solved. I have several family members whose NNs don't match their given names.

    How about Ajax?
  • No.  Jax is not a full name.

  • It seems awfully trendy here on the board, but I can only account for ONE where we live and he is a Jackson. I'm kind of a NN freak, H hates it because he'll suggest a name and I'm like, "No, I hate the NN for that." Lol

    I do call my kids things that aren't related to their actual names, so I understand that side, too.

    Thanks for the input!

  • With all the spellings of Jackson it's a top ten so even though you might know one it's ridiculously overdone trendy and bad.


  • Jack is good and you can make Jax the nick name. Jax is an awful full name.
  • No

  • No. Jax/Jaxon/Jaxson are all so bad, and so overdone. If it's the "x" element you dig, what about

  • I don't care for it as a long name or a nickname. But mostly, it doesn't seem to measure up your daughter's names at all. Penelope and Bella are both beautiful names. Jax just seems like it's in a completely different class, and not in a good way.
  • Oh no. Jax as a given name is horrible. I'm so over Jackson but Jackson with the nickname Jax is much better.

  • I agree, Jax is bad.

    I like Jack much better, even though I currently know five little boys named Jack.

    Jack will stick around though, Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson is a terrible trend that will eventually die out.
  • Unless you are married to Charlie Hunnam, definitely not ok to name your kid Jax.

    And even then, I'd have to question your taste.
  • I hate jax. I think it's silly.
    I like jack or Jackson, only spelled these ways.
  • Jax is not a real name. Jack is though
