Our top name for a boy was Jaxson, but..... we're having a GIRL!!! What do you think about Jaxsyn for a girl?.... Ugly?....to boyish?.....or kind of weird? I think it's unique and diferant and kind of cute, but my husband isn't too sure. Help us out! Thanks

I would probably save it in case you have another one and it's a boy.

No, no, no. Please no.


I'm sorry, but first of all, the spelling Jaxson makes no sense. If you really want to spell it with the x rather than the "cks", fine. That's not my style, but to each their own. However "xs" makes no sense phonetically -- the x already MAKES an "s" sound. The S is redundant and looks silly. To then remove the "o" and replace it with a "y" -- I really have no words for this. It looks so incredibly misspelled and trendy. It's not unique, everyone and their brother is misspelling popular names right now. The whole "use a Y instead" thing is SO popular and trendy. And it's going to wind up looking SO dated when she's an adult. (Just like Tiffani, Brandi, Kelli, Cindi, etc was once cute and "different" by replacing the Ys with Is, now the reverse is true. And 30 years from now, all the Alyce, Madyson, Kaytlin, Olyvia, etc is going to look just as old and dated as those do now.)


Try to imagine your daughter as an adult -- can you imagine a president or supreme court justice or doctor or whatever name "Jaxsyn"?

Oh, please no. If you really love it, save if for a boy (using either the Jaxon or Jackson spelling please). There are soooo many more names for girls than boys if you dig a little deeper I am sure you can find something that you love.

Some kind of trendy names to think of (since you like Jaxsyn I'm guessing that is your style):

Piper
Delaney
Bailey
Shelby
Taryn
Aubrey
Sadie
Tessa
Macy
Tatum
Carly

I am not a fan of this name for a boy, so I would say NO for a girl. Just my opinion! Sorry.

"Ugly?....to boyish?.....or kind of weird?"...

...all of the above (sorry).

How about Jacquelyn?

Ugly? Yes. Too weird? Yes. Boy's name? Yes. Silly spelling of an already misspelled name? YES. Absolutely one of the worst ideas I've ever heard? Pretty much.

I love the name Jaxon .. *Actual that is what I'm naming this baby if it is a boy*


However, I would save it in case you have more kids .. I wouldn't name my girl Jaxsyn .. However, it is your decision .. Good luck!
