We are wanting to name our son Jaxon Patrick and call him Jax. Is this too popular?

Question

We live in Ohio. But it seems like every corner I turn I hear that name. Is it as popular as I think now or is it just because I am listening for it?

Answer 1

It does seems to be growing in fame. I personally like Jackson, nn Jack. I really don't see any appeal in Jaxon, sorry.  

Answer 2

Jax is awesome. But Patrick way too common.

Answer 3

My husband and I loved the name Jaxon and Jackson...it's all pronounced the same.  But then it seemed like we heard the name everywhere and it is defiently growing in popularity.  I think that Jax is an adorable nickname.  I guess I like names that are a little different too.

Answer 4

It is getting very popular.

Answer 5

It is becoming very popular.  If you like it though, don't worry about that.  If you want something more unique, what about Braxton (Brax) or Xavier (Xav ... "zayv")

Answer 6

I think jackson is becoming popular, I just named my son Jackson with NN Jack. Jaxon less popular but growing fast as people try to come up with creative ways to spell it. I like the X in the name but not in Jackson so I named my son Jackson Xavier. So I have my Jack and my X

Answer 7

Dunno if it's too popular, but it's definitely too silly.

Answer 8

Jax is awesome.  Do you watch General Hospital?  The character that plays Jax is a hotty of an Australian.  Check it out.  He's got blond hair and blue eyes that just make you want to melt.  So go for it.  I don't think it is that popular.  Maybe Jack, but not Jax.

Answer 9

It seems to be getting more popular, I have heard of lots of people who like it...but I haven't actually met any ! I think it is great and Jax is a very cute nickname!

Answer 10

I live in California and have never heard of that name....but I have heard of Jackson and shortened to Jack.  A bit different but similiar.  I like the name!

Congrats!

Answer 11

I don't think it is super popular, but the spelling is very unusual. I really like that name! As long as you like the name, go for it! I also like the name Carter or Carver for a boy!

Answer 12

Is the name pronounced Jackson?  if it is its a common name, but by changing the spelling it look different.  i think it sounds nice.

Answer 13

It is getting very popular.  Check out any online mom group and you'll find atleast 3 or 4 of them plus many more pg women that are thinking of that name.  If you're going to use it spell it right.

Answer 14

no  not  a good  name  kids will make  fun  of  him  jax  off  not  a  good  choice

Answer 15

i dont think that spelling is as popular as Jack or jacks

but i like it and i think its a good name for your son.  

Answer 16

Jaxon is not as popular as a Jacob- Kudos to you for not choosing the most popular boys name!

If you are hearing the name Jaxon a lot, it is probably spelled Jackson, but pronounced the same as Jaxon.

I personally like the name Jaxon Patrick.

Answer 17

Jaxton? No way. It reminds me of a lot of cereals. How about Jason Patrick or Jordan Patrick. The list goes on and on, but not with Jaxton.

Answer 18

i personally prefer the "jackson" spelling, but i'm not opposed to "jaxon", it's still really cute. plus the nickname "jax" is nice. i would say that "jaxon" is less common that "jackson".

Answer 19

How about

Jackson

and call your little treasure "Jack"
