What does Jaxx mean?
Made Up: Modern invented name with no established meaning..
Our editors checked this meaning before publishing. Names with several genuine origins are shown as separate senses rather than a single claim.
Is Jaxx a good dog name?
Jaxx has not been formally rated for calling yet. As a rule of thumb, one or two clear syllables work best for recall. With 1 syllable, it is quick to say — a practical length for recall.
Before you commit, say it out loud a few times and check it does not clash with a household name or a training cue like "sit" or "no".
Jaxx popularity in the Pets In The City community
Jaxx is uncommon in our community — fewer than 5 dogs share it, so we do not publish exact counts. If you want a name few dogs answer to at the park, that is a point in its favour.
Popularity comes from anonymised, aggregated records of dogs at our 5 Auckland centres. It reflects our community, not a national census.
What kind of dog does Jaxx suit?
It is most often used for boy dogs in our community. Owners often pick Jaxx for its modern, wonderfully unusual feel. Treat these as suggestions — plenty of dogs happily wear names that break every rule.

Our entirely unscientific pack opinion.
When Jaxx checked into the dog hotel, the other pups whispered, "He must be a real trendsetter! I wonder if he’s planning a mid-night fashion show or just wants to be the coolest pup in the suite!"
