Re: Thomas and Jack
in reply to a message by Millie
Going back to the 19th century, Thomas (known as Tom) and John (known as Jack) feature three times over in my family tree. Once as brothers, and twice as brothers-in-law. So it seems a very familiar and comfortable association. I would use Thomas without hesitation, and John (Jack) with some hesitation because of the current popularity of Jack as an independent name.
