I've started to like the name
Jack! It makes me really surprised, because I've disliked it earlier, I have thought "uuuhh,
Jack the Ripper". Plus, the Swedish word
jack means "gash" or "jag", which is rather unpleasant.
But I recently read a wonderful book where
Jack was the name of the protagonist, plus I have the most gorgeous pic of a tiny kitten called
Jack Sparrow. And it makes me think of
Johnny Depp, whom I find handsome.
WDYT about
Jack? It's not very common in Sweden, but I guess it may be way too common in English-speaking countries. BTW, do you think
Jack is OK as a proper name, or just as a nick for
John?
