Spelling & Stuff...

[Heulyn]

My and the OH both like the name Jax, but surely it'd be better to have as a shortened version of a name like Jackson?

Thing is, OH says that if we called the baby Jackson, the shortened spelling would be "Jaks" or "Jacks", not "Jax".

So I suggested spelling the first name "Jaxon", but I don't think he likes it.

I really don't like the spelling "Jaks", and "Jacks" would no doubt become "Jack" [which is a nice name, but I wanted something a little more.... different iykwim?]

So.... I guess the question is:

Jackson
Jaxon
Jacks
Jaks
Jax

What do you think would be best? AND does any of it go with the surname: Moore!
[All of this, and we're on team ! ]

I like Jaxon and Jackson so not much help here but I agree Jacks would become Jack.

I think Jaxon/Jackson Moore sounds fine but I don't think Jax Moore sounds right.

we are calling our little boy Jaxom when he finally puts in an appearance, I liked it from a book I've read and my DH just liked the fact it could be shortened down to Jax (although I think he has been watching an american biker programme called Sons of Anarchy and the lead character is Jackson lol) xx

We actually picked it from Sons of Anarchy
We liked Clay as well... but Clay Moore sounds a bit dangerous! [It's two different types of weapon!] x

We're drawing up a few shortlists for names now, this one was causing a debate though haha!
The shortlists are very, very short.... we can't agree on anything!

I like Jackson tbh... as its still not a commonly used name. I think changing the spelling too much isnt necessary. Although if I was to changed it I would probably use Jacson, Jakson or Jaxon xx

 

[lea554]

This has been the only name me and OH have agreed on! Maybe lots of Jacksons on PF!

Although I prefer the spelling, Jaxon, hubby doesnt, and doesnt want it shortned to Jax.
However, I will win that argument, lol!

We are team yellow as well, but can not decide on ONE girls name between us - now think we will have to find out the sex, just in case its a girl - will need the 20 weeks to decide on a girls name - although I quite like Saxon as well, which could be used for both.....
