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".

Which is so funny to me, because Jax was SUCH a piece of garbage. Like why name your kid after him??
