Re: Jack or Jackson?
in reply to a message by Xeno
I would pick Jack. I like Jack very much; ideal scenario I'd use John "Jack".I actually don't understand why Jackson is widely accepted as a first name. I cannot warm up to it. A) In my mind it's so tied to Michael Jackson/the Jackson family, and B) It's such a common surname in general that IMO it's no different than using Johnson or Robinson.Also, this doesn't have to do with my opinion but an interesting tidbit: Jackson is more commonly seen as a last name among Black Americans (http://names.mongabay.com/data/black.html), but I would bet that Jackson is used as a first name at a much higher rate proportionally among white parents.
