Extremely similar in history and usage to Max: ✓ short form of a surname (Maxwell, Jackson) ✓ aforementioned surname was originally formatted as "[Name]'s [x]" (Mack's well, Jack's son) ✓ the plural became combined with the original name over time (Mack → Mack's → Max, Jack → Jack's → Jax) ✓ original name is slang for man (ex. Guy)
I REALLY LIKE THE NAME! I think it's very pretty and a good thing is it's gender neutral (at least I think it is XD) and after I finally came out as enby and changed my name to Jax, I really like it! I mostly get positive comments from people :3 and IT SOUNDS SO COOL :0.
