Help with Boy's Name, 38 Weeks!

AliHawkins19AliHawkins19
in Baby Names

Okay, I think we have settled on a name, but not the spelling so I need some thoughts on this: 

 We like the name Jackson Cole, but my husband wants to spell it Jaxon Cole..  He likes the name Jax from some TV show. 

 Which is better?

    i think jax is a cute nn, but personally i don't like the spelling Jaxon. also i think there are slight pronounciation differences between Jackson and Jaxon.

    I agree that Jax is a cute nn, but I think you can use it with the spelling Jackson just fine.

    I'd go with Jackson Cole. It will serve them better as an adult.

    If your child wants they can still spell their nickname "Jax", there's no rule against that and I see people use alternative spellings for their nicknames all the time. GL!

    As someone who had a temporary lapse in judgment and almost named DS#1 Jaxon, all I can say is don't do it! Spell it Jackson if you are going to use it. Jax is a cute nn, but that is about it. Spelled out, Jaxon just looks dumb.

    ETA: I really like the name Cole. Jackson Cole makes me think Jackson Hole, WY. What about Cole Jackson?

    This, minus the part about almost naming a child Jaxon b/c never in a million years have I considered doing that or would I.

    I think its so funny that people will know what your unborn child will think when he is an adult! I know an adult man name Jaxon and he likes his name. I personally think its a neat twist on a VERY popular name.

    Jackson is way better than Jaxon IMO. I have to say though, that I immediately thought of Jackson Hole, Wyoming when I read the name.

    You can still call him Jax for short, and spell it Jackson.

    We're considering (very strongly) Jackson for a boy, but nn Jax.

    Jackson is a very nice name but Jaxon is just hideous...you can still call him Jax without the terrible spelling!!

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts!!! 

    I, for one, had never heard of Jackson Hole, WY until this post so it doesn't bother me.  Smile

    Cole is the name I loved the most, but my hubby only likes it for a middle name, so no Cole Jackson.  Plus, with our last name it sounds like a hyphenated (sp) last name. 

    I am leaning towards Jackson with the nn Jax, because it looks more traditional on paper, and also, we visit my Nana in Jackson, Ca frequently and that's where I originally got the name.  Oh and then the hubby can still call him what he wants!

    Thanks again!!!
