Help[Opinions] Re: Saxon
in reply to a message by Canielle
I can see the appeal - it's a lot like the appeal of Mason, Chase, Dawson, Payton, Maxwell, Landon. 00s vintage trendy.
Also like Kingston or Brooks or Sawyer or Ashton. Sexless and brand-namey, and I think I would find it a little hard to get used to calling someone it.
I dislike the sound ... it's the S and X together, maybe? Too much like "sex." I get a similar "too sexy for my shirt" vibe from Saskia and Alexis.
Elon Musk named a son Saxon, and that seems likely.
Also Saxon vaguely evokes a sort of German-ish image like, ultra-well-made status-objects and perfectly proportioned angular faces.
In the abstract it seems sort of appealing, but IRL, I think it kinda comes off as just another surname name that seems chosen because it's sexless and quasi-posh. I mean, those are fine. I just don't like the sound of Saxon very much.
