Do we let our 3 year choose...

Baby number 2 is due in September and we already have a DD who turned 3 in April. We waited until the 12 week scan to tell her and are trying to prepare and involve her as much as we can in the build up. She came to the 20 week scan and we'd explained for weeks before you didn't get to choose whether it was a boy/girl - she was still very definite she wanted a sister and it took some sinking in when we found out it was a boy. We are now over that hurdle and she's excited for a brother but is insisting we call him Jack. Whilst we don't mind Jack (I actually wanted Jaxon but DH said no way) our preference is Lewis and whenever we try to refer to him by this name she tells us he is called Jack. Shes actually telling everyone it is Jack (we also have no idea where that has come from). Part of me thinks we don't mind the name so let her pick it but DH says not...any advice??

Would you let your three year old make any other important decision? I doubt it.

Jack's a nice name.

Why not?
