Picking longer version of name for birth cert

Posting for a friend... she would like to call her first baby jack after her father and grandfather, but due to her married surname she’s having second thoughts (the k at the end of the name would make her surname sound rude when said in full) so she’s considering Jaxson/jackson/Jaxon for the birth certificate/school/work but calling him Jack in general. Does this kind of thing work? Would she be better choosing a new name/ double barrelling a first and middle name or would her plan be ok? Had a quick Facebook stalk of the name and it seems popular in America so can’t be all bad? I’m not sure what advice to offer so hoping you ladies can help

I think it was a joke, Small... 😆

Jaxon/Jaxson is awful.

Mike doesn't go with Hunt either.

Michael is a lovely classic name.

If the surname is something like Hunt, and he is called Jackson or John or Jack-Raymond but all his friends and family call him Jack, he will probably nearly always be called Jack Hunt.

I’m assuming surname is Hunt.
Choose a different name.

Just Jack.

Normally I’d say go with the longer name on the bc but with Jack it’s a classic and must nicer than those other names.

If it's going to potentially sound rude when said aloud, then having a different form of the name won't really help anything though, if they're still going to be saying Jack Surname. If there are a few around then the chance of people using first name and surname together increases.

Jack originated as a pet form of John btw. I don't know if it's something she'd consider?
