We names our son Jaxon in 2000 and when I did my research at that time, I could not find the name spelled with an X. We choose this spelling so he wouldn’t be called Jack. Now, I’m seeing this spelling quite a bit.

I let his dad choose his name and mainly middle name. He’s my 3rd boy. We did Emerson with my 1st, Jenson with my 2nd, and so we kept with the ‘on’ with Jaxon. My fake eyelashes fell off during labor, so I put it on his lil face as soon as he was born, and til this day, he believes he was born with a mustache!

We chose Jaxon to honor my side of the family since he took my husband’s last name. My grandfather’s name was Jack, so we just named him a variation.
