HelpRe: Jack
in reply to a message by Millie
Jack's chaotic good, a mensch but independent. I'd name a character Jack if he was assertive, impulsive, and tended to make friends with everyone, made some mistakes, but wasn't a very deep or troubled character. The generic-nicknaminess makes it seem like it might be sorta alphalike - like someone everyone calls by his first name to show that they are friends with Jack, when they might otherwise show respect by calling a guy Mr Lastname. It's red and black like a deck of cards.
It's a little bit comical because of being slightly generic.
And for that reason I think makes a good nickname rather than an official name. I don't mind it as a full name but I'd occasionally feel a little silly using it in every place that I use my own son's name. What's up Jack? Alright Jack.
I like to consider what names people would have used at other times, who would use a certain name today.
I think it aligns with Scott, Jim, Bill. Bright, deliberately uncomplicated names.
