Seems a little odd to saddle a tyke with that kind of handle. But I guess the person who would name their kid that is a little odd, so it makes sense?
If he becomes a serial Killer or a super hero that name will work out just fine.

Braxton, Saxon and Jaxon can all be friends, and get their asses kicked by Nicky, Vinny and Tony.


Obligatory



Funny though, the names he's making fun of would look good compared to the garbage we're getting now

FFS, Mormons.
Fixed, I'd bet money there is a strong tendency for these to be within 100 miles of Cardston.

Every year, this list makes me weep for humanity. We put a legitimate "y" in my daughter's name, but I"m sure, thanks to the "let's just throw random "y's" into names trend," I'm sure lots of folks think we were just trying to be cute. (Her name is Kateryna, which is Ukrainian and a proper spelling when translated to English). It rarely ever shows up on the list, though Katya usually does.

When naming our child last year - we had a list of 8 or so names. This list came out and immediately our list narrowed to two. We chose Franklin and he is one of seven from 2015.

Did they also consider 'Hostage' or 'Victim'?

Oh wait, spell check, 'Hastidge' or 'Vyktem'

Props to whoever named their child Heathcliff.

That's a lovely name. Unfortunately, lots of people today go for something else.

You know, if you named your baby girl Harley-Quinn you'd think you were pretty original, the only person dumb enough to do that for sure.

Nope. Two people did.

No no no, you want old school, name your son Wentworth, like we did. The only time it has been used this century. And I've probably opened the door wide open for jokes so fire away

Yeah we named one of our sons Jackson and playing at the park one day there was another Jackson and his mom came to me and said we named our son "J-a-x-x-o-n" to be unique. I kind of just nodded and said "oh yeah" holding back what I really wanted to say to her.

I'm still holding out for Zaxxon. Wouldn't the font below make for a great bicep tattoo when they're 14?

But it won't matter because pretty much everyone will have a stupid name by then.

The best part about the many Jacksons with completely irresponsible spellings is that you KNOW they thought "We'll spell it his way... to be unique! How about... Jaxxson!" Nope, sorry, at least one other idiot.

Forget Cardston, I'm sure 90% of these Jaxcksxinnz are future parts of the child welfare system.
