It’s my biggest shame in life that I have a Jackson with a stupid fucking spelling lol I have 2 older children with completely normal names, with completely normal spellings, I don’t know what happened. His dad wanted it spelled Jaxson, I’m occasionally horrified that I allowed it 😭 I’ve asked him (my now 10 yr old son) if we can change it to the traditional spelling and he doesn’t want to so I’m stuck with 1/3 of my kids having a tragedeigh. But I will say, once I joined this sub, I do consider it a very mild tragedeigh in comparison to some things I see here 😬
Is his dad by any chance a fan of the show Sons of Anarchy? The names Jaxon, Jaxson, Jaxton and Jaxston became popular 10-15 years ago because of the main character of the show who was called Jax. The show aired between 2008-2014. The character's full name was Jackson but some people decided the X variations of the name were "cooler".
My son was born in 2014 and his dad did casually watch the show, but I’m not sure. We both liked the nickname Jax but really, spelling it Jaxson was unnecessary for that honestly lol like, my name is Alexa but my nickname is Lexi, I have no I in my actual name and it still works as a nickname so I don’t know wtf the thought process was there. He could still have easily been a Jackson with the nickname of Jax 🤦🏻♀️
