Brother for Tom, George and Harry... Jack?

[Creamcrackered1]

We have a boy and Jack seems the name to go with. We're split between 'it's a great name and that's all that matters' and 'there might be 3 in his class'. Any thoughts? Any better ideas? He's 4 days old so need to decide!!

Thanks

Dick ?!?

How about Sam?

Edward
William
Stephen
Miles
Matthew
David
Michael

It's lovely and goes well. How about Will?

Will and Harry a bit too regal for me (especially with a George). I need swaying to or from Jack so can everyone's responses agree please? ;)

Got to be Tom, Dick and Harry, surely.

Can't use:
Daniel
Christopher
Nicholas
Andrew
James
Douglas
David
Felix
Finn

lots of boys in our family!

Ian, Gary or Nigel?

Ds is 4, I only know 1 jack at his school and 1 in wider circle, your other boys names are more common around here because they're great

we chose Zac over Jack because we were worried about popularity - now he is one of 4 (yes 4, Zac, Zakariah, and 2 Isaac's known as Zac) in a class of 23, with no Jack at all!!

Jack is a lovely name, and it is popular for a reason, go for it!

I only know 1 Jack who is 5. I have 4 children so come into contact with a lot of kids. Henry and Edward seem far more popular, I'm in s. East.

Benjamin?

Joel?

Not too out there but also not likely to be lots of them.

I think Jack fits perfectly.

There are a lot more Zaks than Jacks amongst my children's peers (4-7).

Jack is lovely.

Yes it's a great name.

I am biased, but Jack rocks.

I really like Jack however I understand your concerns about popularity.

Having an extremely common/used name myself from the 70s I hated being known by my name and surname together.
This has obvioulsy continued into the workplace where there are 5 of us with the same first name, so again I'm known as Name T.

What about Jake? It's quite similar to Jack, only there aren't 100s of them!

Jack is a lovely name and I doubt it would be more popular than your other children's names so if it doesn't bother you with them then shouldn't with him iyswim? Personally I think there are advantages to having a commonly used name (I say this as someone who has the most popular girl's name for the year of their birth).

As an alternative you could use John with nn Jack?

It definitely goes with your others sons' names. It's popular but so are his brother's names so I can't see it would be a massive issue. And he may well end up being the only Jack in his class.

Edward/Eddie is nice too.

I love Jack, I only know 2 one is 11 and the other 5. It's a popular name but more of a classic so they are spread out in age.

Have I missed something? Is Jack all of a sudden super popular?!

In all seriousness: I think Jack fits the other names PERFECTLY, and it's a great name! (Not my usual taste, but I'm really liking it!!)

Congrats on him, btw! X

Blahia Jack has been in the top 3 baby names for about 10 years, with several years at #1.

There are 2 Jacks in DS's year 2 class (age 6) and there were two a few years behind me at school (would be about 40 now). Those are the only ones I know.
