So what do you think of these?

I am not a fan of weird names so I need a little help with this one-(DH picked it out b/c his name is Jason and he wanted a similar name if it's a boy)

Jaxson Everett?

or

Jackson Everett?

The only reason I am not totally for Jackson is I don't want people calling him Jack.

Jackson is a perfectly good name when spelled correctly! Jaxson -- not so much, IMO.

I like Everett too.

Definitely Jackson. I grew up with a Jackson and no one ever called him Jack, always his full name.

Definitely Jackson, even with spelling it Jaxson you may get "Jack" or "Jax", you might as well spell it properly.

Jackson x100

And he'll probably be called Jackson (Insert first letter of your last name) because holy wow every other boy I know is named Jackson.

BelleBaby · October 2010

He could still be called Jack if you spell it Jaxson because it's pronounced the same as Jackson.

Please do him a favor and spell it Jackson.

Jackson Everett sounds nice.

mj.reilly:

DEFINITELY Jackson.

Jaxson is just ... a bad mispelling.

Thats what I am afraid of- I really didn't know if it is a common name spelled wrong or a new way to spell an old name.

I am not into trendy names/trendy spellings. Thanks Ladies.

I don't like Jaxson or Jackson, but if you are going to use the name regardless, spell it Jackson.

Jackson Everett x a billion. I do not like the way Jaxson looks at all.

Just correct people if they call him Jack.

mommydale · October 2010

Definitely Jackson.

Definitely Jackson. There's no reason to misspell it.

Be aware, though---you can enforce his name up to a certain point, but once he's old enough to decide, your son may very well go by Jack. If you can't live with the NN, I wouldn't use the name.

Just my two cents.

rsquaredr · October 2010

I usually hate weird spellings but I love Jaxson. I think either way is great. And if someone starts calling him Jack just correct them right away.

If you spell it Jaxson, he will spend his whole life saying, "No, it's actually J-A-X..." or looking down at a piece of paper and seeing it spelled wrong.
