HelpRe: Jack and Kepler
in reply to a message by SJayne
I also used to dislike Jack due to its popularity, but it's my boyfriend's favourite name (guys seem to really like the name Jack in my experience!) so I started to re-think how I felt about it, and now I love it and it's currently our top name for a boy.
I definitely prefer it as a full fn, I'm from the UK and it's never really used as a nickname for John here nowadays. It's really popular here too, but I think it's popular for a good reason. It's strong, snappy, cool and unpretentious and it also has a lot of history- some people might say it lacks substance but I don't think that's true. I like the fact it was very popular during the Middle Ages and was used in a lot of fairy tales and nursery rhymes (Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack and Jill, Jack Sprat etc.) Wikipedia says Jack was a folk hero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_%28hero%29
Theodore is nice, but a bit too heavy sounding for me. I do like Hugo and Conrad, and I think they both go well with Jack. I've never liked Ronan as it just reminds me of Ronan Keating the singer.
Kepler is quite interesting, but not my style. I think it's usable though and doesn't sound too girly.
