How popular is Jack, really? I'm trying to pick a name outside of the top 10, but the name Jack came out of an inside joke but I actually quite like it.
Thing is, I worked in a nursery a few years ago and we had four Jacks in the baby room alone. They were never called Jack, they were always Jack G, Jack R etc.
I appreciate you cannot predict future name trends or who ends up in your child's school. However I would like to avoid the inevitable Name + Initial where possible (although DH did point out that our surname initial would be a kind of cool nickname - Jack L!)
So Jack is number 2 on the UK charts. But I haven't met a baby Jack for a while. Is it really that popular? How many Jacks do you know and what age range are they?
Btw, really dislike Jackson/Jaxon, before anyone suggests these as an alternative. They seem to be rising in popularity anyway.
