Hello,

I am due today (!) and we have a girls name decided upon (thanks for all your comments on my last post) and we have also decided on a boys name, Jack.

This is I know, the most popular name, according to all the stats but I have only come across one myself, aged 4 and then a number of adults.

I've loved this name from word go, and it is a family name too but I keep having niggles about the possibility of their being many little Jack's throughout school.

This shouldn't matter should it? To me it is a classic, timeless name and I guess it is popular for a reason.

I'd love to hear from mums of Jack's or those also considering the name. Or just your comments in general!

Thanks - last minute wobbles I think.

It's a nice name.

But being someone who has a very common name in RL I have to say it's a PITA, especially at school.

It is a lovely name. It is very popular. In my group of friends there are 3. On a beach recently most little boys being called for were called Jack. If that doesnt bother you go for it!
