The story
Jaxton is not Jackson rebuilt. Reference works describe it as an elaboration of Jax influenced by similar-sounding Paxton and Braxton. The published record supports a modern neighborhood rather than a single family tree. Counting girls and boys, Jackson totals about 297,600, Jaxon 114,100, Braxton 66,600, Paxton 30,300 and Jax 25,300. Jaxton is smaller and younger, but not entirely a name of this century: 23 boys appear in the 1990s. The total then reaches about 770 in the 2000s, 6,700 in the 2010s and 3,570 so far this decade. About 11,000 boys appear across the series, while female entries are absent from the published record. The x and the -ton ending place Jaxton in a visible sound neighborhood. The chart maps the neighborhood; the choice belongs to each family.
