This name sounds like something white suburban moms would name their sons. They would probably butcher the spelling and spell it Saxynn or something "trendeigh" like that.

I was named Saxon after my aunt. She was named after a character in a Jack London book called The Valley of the Moon. For what it is worth, I always get a very favorable response to my name.

We called our son Saxen (slightly different spelling as there is a brand of equestrian gear called Saxon here and we wanted to differentiate him from that) when he was born in 2012 and we love it. I had to look up what WASP meant as it has no other meaning in New Zealand other than a flying stinging evil creature, so I don't get that whole issue (well it's a non issue for us).

This name has a significant WASPy vibe to it to the point I find it potentially problematic.

Saxon is not so bad (if the bearer is English or of this ancestry). In Italy we have the name Sveva which comes from another tribe. I would never use it but I can see the fascination. It is the same for Norman in my opinion.
My rating for it is 7/10.

Saxon is a beautiful strong name and also my son's name. My family are British but also Spanish and my son is half African... I have never met another Saxon but I can tell you my son loves his name and the meaning.

This is seriously the most WASP-y name I've ever heard. I don't care for it at all.

This is kind of like naming your son Briton, or Irish. Though I guess Frank is an acceptable name (if a little old-fashioned). Definitely not my style, though.

I hate this name. It makes me think of WASPs. You might as well name your other children White, Anglo, and Protestant. Then I could enjoy some laughter.

To me this name sounds almost noble and makes me think of a warrior in the medieval times. I've never met anybody with this name so it makes it more special and unique. I'm not keen on Saxon as a first name so I'm planning on using it as a middle name.

This name sounds plain weird. I guess I could understand if a sax player wanted to use it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Just to add to what you have said, it also means 'sword-bearer'. Obviously referring back to the 'knife'.
