Jinxx

If you're already bewitched by baby's charms, consider calling the fitting name Jinxx. A variant of the more familiar Jinx and Jynx, Jinxx comes from the American English term for a "charm" or "spell," which itself traces back to the Greek iynx, meaning "wryneck." The wryneck, a type of woodpecker, was once called a jynx and was used in witchcraft and divination due to its unique ability to twist its head and hiss like a snake. This behavior likely fueled its association with casting a "jinx" on someone. In Greek mythology, the nymph Inyx used a wryneck bird tied to a spinning wheel to charm Zeus, either for herself or another nymph named Io_._ Furious at this mischief, Hera turned Inyx into a wryneck bird as punishment for her wicked deeds. Fans of Black Veil Brides might also recognize Jinxx from Jeremy Miles Ferguson, the rhythm guitarist who uses it as his stage name while casting his own musical spell on the audience.
