[Opinions] I prefer John... (m)
in reply to a message by Jacks
...just because I prefer bestowing formal names, just in case the child decides to be addressed by his formal name, for whatever reason.
On a personal note, I love the name John. Despite being ultra-common in my area, it reminds me of my favorite musician, John Rzeznik. Jack is nice, too, but while it CAN stand on its own, it's becoming quite trendy. So, my vote goes to John, with possible nn of Jack.
As for the styles going together: I think Henry and John/Jack go very well, and Finnegan/Finn and Kiefer also work, but all the names together are a touch different (though Finnegan, with the nn of Finn, could also go well with Henry and John). However, it's not horrible clashing at all, so I wouldn't not use them.
