Help! Name dilemma!

xxxjacxxx · Nov 12th, 2008, 13:13 PM

Ok, me and OH both love the name Jack. It seems to be really popular at the moment but any hows Ive always liked the name Jack and hoped someday to have a little boy to call him this.

We have discussed other names but none of them come any where near Jack....................so whats my problem I hear you say??????????????

Our last name is Jackson!

H e would be called Jack Anthony Jackson.......obviously be shortened to Jack Jackson when he goes to school.

Would you do it? Im really torn on this one.....my names Jacqui Jackson and I dont mind too much but it obviously wasnt when I was at school.

Opinions on this one?

i think it has a cute little ring to it!!

OH's intials are A-S-S...
name flows well, but clearly his parents weren't thinking hard about initials... he got laughed at about it lots...

if you and your OH love the name Jack, go with it!

i think it's cute!

by the time he goes to school i doubt the kids would even notice they will be too intrested in the other odd names of the kids. x

Hmm im on the fence ... why did you have to do that lol

I love the name Jack and i dont think its as common now as it was a couple of years ago!!

Jack Jackson .... i'm not sure, as an adult i dont see anything wrong with it and its a lovely name, but im not sure from a kids point of view. We need some kiddies to ask what they think lol

I like it, its unusual having the 2 together, my son is Jack, so Im biased, what about even Jake ? good luck deciding xx

Im the same Polo, one day I think I like it and the next Im not sure! maybe we should change our last name to something more suitable!

SJK- I have a nephew called jake and tbh...Im not too fussed

Theres nothing I like better than Jack....the other option was Oliver but its not as nice as Jack......we could call him JJ for short??????

jacqui - i think you should go with it!
i think it's cute.. kids will find reasons to laugh at kids whether it's their name, their clothes, ANYTHING...

if you're in love with the name as much as it sounds like you are, i'd go with it..
