Jack Atticus is one of my top three boy names. Actually, it's tied for number one.
I know that Jack is a nickname for John. I would not name a child John, as I just don't care for the name at all. Also, I don't like it when people name a child, but immediately begin calling the child by another name (unless this is to distinguish between a father and son having the same name). I don't care for Jackson. I only like Jack. Jack is not a common name in my area (Alaska). I have never heard of a child named Jack. I know of two older men named Jack, but they are only acquaintances. I really love the name because it's traditional, yet uncommon. And for some reason, I just like the sound of it.
What do you think?
