Does Jack work with a surname that begins with C?

I'm expecting a baby boy in October. I want to call him Jack, but I'm unsure if the name works with our surname which begins with C. The sound of 'ck' from Jack combined with the 'c' from our surname blends into one sound. Am I overthinking this or do you think it's an issue?

Jack Cunningham sounds fine to me. (Can't think of other c surnames Smile ).

Would he have a middle name?

I think it's ok. Provided your surname has at least two syllables.
