Jax

Jax is a short, muscular flash, often a clipped form of Jackson but increasingly its own standalone. It gained a modern edge from Sons of Anarchy's brooding lead, Jax Teller, and parents picked up the signal: the name rocketed up American charts in the 2010s and now sits comfortably in the low 300s. One syllable, a snapped consonant, and that final x that feels borrowed from comic books and race cars. There's a restless quality in the sound, something that won't sit still. A name built for motion, kinetic and unfussed, all first gear and open road.
