which name do you like better?

[Anonymous]

Choosing between Jon and George. If we name him Jon, we will call him Jack. Any thoughts?

George. My husband is named Jon and he always jokes that his parents didn't think about what his name should be, just went w what they call corpses.

I mean he is joking, but I do prefer George even w the great association w Jon.

George! By far great name!

[Anonymous]

Like curious George?

George.

If you want Jon name him John or Jonathan

Jon is short for Jonathan. Do not name him that and then call him Jack.

John or George. Flip a coin.

George

Why not just name him Jack if that's what you want to call him?

[Anonymous]

Thanks for the insight! His father is "Jon" just J-O-N. If I name him Jon, I want to call him something a little different otherwise everyone in my house will be confused with 2 Jons. I like Jack as a nickname to Jon. Although, I am starting to prefer George.

Jon. George is my father's name. I love my dad more than anything and we are very close, but I've always hated his name.

Hate the name George. I vote that you name him Jonathan but call him jack.

Jon alone isn't really a standalone name. Jonathan and call him Jon, or John and call him Jack (though I never really understood that).

[Anonymous]

I agree that Jon is short for Jonathan (your in-laws did it wrong ). Why not call him Jonathan to differentiate from his dad?

George isn't bad either, anymore, though I remember when I was a kid thinking it was the most stodgy old-man name in existence. Fred & George. And now they're both back.

I like George. Jon is nice but its a nickname itself. If you want that one, you could call him Jonny to distinguish him from his father.

George is an awful name. It sounds silly off the tongue. Say it out loud a few times! Jon all the way.
