Jax

Where did this name come from? Is there a specific ethnicity it is associated with, or maybe that it originated with? I've seen it numerous times now, is it made up?

BTW- Totally just curious...we already have our name picked out, this is not it.

    My nephew is Jackson....we just call him Jax for short because his parents aren't really a fan of "Jack"

    I thought it was a nickname for Jaxon.

    Jaxon, to my knowledge, has no specific ethnicity.  I figure it was made up to be a less popular way of spelling Jackson.

    It is a trendy, misspelled, you-neek mess that some American came up with because they wanted their son to be "unique" among all the Jacksons.

    One of the most awful "names" I have seen (Jax/Jaxon/Jaxson/Jaxton). 

    English ... aka American (Modern)

    Amen.

     

    It is also what my 19 month old son calls our cat, because he can't fully pronounce Jackson.

    I think it came from uneducated people who thought they were making their child special by giving them a you-neek name.

    C'mon, don't you want to name your child an airport code?  Our first-born will be BWI.

    Totally agree.  One of our boy names was Jackson (spelled the 'correct' way) but I have gotten so annoyed with all of the Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson names lately we decided against it!

    My dog is named Jax after the general hospital character who was named (and he is a Jack Russell). His first name was Jasper however ( not sure if he is still on the show or not), this was 10 years ago...
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

    There's been a character on General Hospital named Jax for years. So- made up, maybe, but it's a name thats  been around for no less than 10+ years.
