Re: Saxon

I'm assuming you mean, like it's a ... "white supremacist dog whistle"? lol
No. I wouldn't assume anyone who named a kid Saxon was doing that. I'd think that someone who named a kid Saxon, probably just thought it sounded cool, and that's it.
I might assume someone named Saxon was white, just because the term "Anglo-Saxon" might put not-white people off it, even if they did think it sounded cool. But I wouldn't be astonished if Saxon turned out to be another race, or mixed race. It's mainly just a surname name that sounds like Jackson.
Elon Musk has sons named Griffin, Xavier, Damian, Saxon, and Kai.
Alex O'Loughlin (Australian actor) has sons Saxon and Lion.
Jessica Ellis (British actress) has a son Saxon.
