About Nixon
A fresher spin on Jaxon, with built-in cool nickname Nix, and a great way to honor an ancestral Nick. But the association with disgraced former president Richard Nixon remains strong, which might explain why this otherwise bang-on-trend surname name has remained under the radar, peaking at #482 in 2017.
Nixon is also given to girls, where it ranks #11645 in the US.
Pronounced NIK-sun.
As of October 2026, Nixon ranked #11645 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4132 in 2019.
