My mom's name is Jacqueline and she usually goes by Jackie. She's always hated being called Jack, but she's never minded when people call her Jax/Jacks. I think some people use it as alternative to Jack since it's more gender neutral — or at least less strictly masculine.Personally I adore it.I understand some people find it too trendy or whatever, but it's really not that different from Max both in origin and sound. Maybe once upon a time Max was viewed as overly trendy, as well… I believe this conception of Jax will pass, with time. Eventually it will become as common and ordinary as Max. Judging by its current position on the charts, it's well on its way there.
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.
