[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just "Jack."[/quote] We have a ton of "John" grandparents, great grandparents, uncles on both sides. Our son's given name is "John" to honor them--but his nickname is "Jack". This is common in Northeast/Irish communities-- ala JFK, JackNicholoson, etc. He's 5 and I have been surprised that in every daycare, preschool we've been at...he's been the only "jack" in the class....not even a "jackson' which I despise by the way.[/quote] I don't mind it as a nickname, it just seemed that, all of a sudden, everyone was naming their kid "Jack" as their formal name.[/quote] I am the pp with the "John" nicknamed "Jack" and I couldn't agree with you more. "Jack" is not a formal name. However, I know somebody that had a last name that did not go well with "John" and they loved 'Jack' so they used it which I think is fine. It is becoming more common.[/quote]
