Jaxon is a terribly butchered spelling of a great name, and the spelling Jackson goes much better with Benjamin anyway. So I completely agree with you. Why on earth...?

Try Jaxson....

My cousin named her youngest son Jaxson. Spelled just like that. I'm not sure why... since the x makes the same sound as the s.

But she wanted to call him Jax instead of Jack so his name had to be somehow spelled with an x! LoL... apparently, nicknames must completely derive only from the spelling of the given name in her worldview.

Jackson and Jaxon are funny-- I don't even think of them as similar, except that they sound the same and Jaxon is technically a variant of Jackson... when I see Jackson I think "Jack+son". When I see Jaxon I think more along the lines of "Saxon with a J".
Anyway, the sibset isn't bad. I do prefer Jackson to Jaxon, but they seem like very different styles.

When my friend was pregnant with her son, I had a dream she named him Jaxxon. I sent her a message the next morning saying "Promise me you won't name him Jaxxon." Of course, she didn't, she said Jaxxon was horrible thank goodness.

I love Benjamin, it's on my short list. Jackson is okay, not on my list at all but then again, it's not horrible. I don't like Jaxon at all though and with the trendy spelling it doesn't match Benjamin.

Jackson and Benjamin would've been nice. Jack and Benjamin would've been great. I'm disappointed that they changed the spelling to Jaxon. Still, overall it's not a bad set. I think it'd work better if Benjamin was called something slightly offbeat like Benji.
