I like it. Have you read the Kate Atkinson books.

Jackson Brodie is just fab.

I think of America....Jackson's a town. "Going down to Jackson" is a song too!

I like the name Jackson

Rafe is a poncey name

Awful name, and very American sounding to boot!

rachel1970 · 18/05/2011 21:34

Its nickname Jack is certainly very common.

It's classier than Kai and Jayden. I know a fair few middle-class Jacksons. It's more Harper/Chester.

I like it but I guess I do have dodgy taste / I like American names.

SecretNutellaFix · 18/05/2011 20:50

At least you spelled it correctly and not Jaxon.

I have a v classy friend with a Jackson. He was going to be Arthur but there was some story about her waters splattering up the wall during labour and the pattern looking like a Jackson Pollock which led to jokes and the name stuck.

Gosh it is a dreadful name

olddeuteronomy · 18/05/2011 20:23

It's a surname - why would you call your child 'son of Jack' (unless he is!) Jack by itself is much nicer.
(also, yes to the C question)

YES IT IS.
