36 weeks pregnant and really struggling to commit to a boys name. We both love Rory and Jackson but don't know which way to go.. both names go well with our surname. Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Rory

Cornelialovett · 19/12/2015 16:48

Completely different types of name.
I prefer Rory.

Jackson, but I prefer just Jack.

MamaLazarou · 19/12/2015 18:12

Rory.

Jackson is horribly faddy, IMO.

Allalonenow · 19/12/2015 18:16

Rory!

Not at all keen on Jackson, he would certainly get Jack as a nn and there are many many Jacks already,

HeteronormativeHaybales · 19/12/2015 18:17

Rory. Please. Jackson is terrible (sorry)

magpie17 · 19/12/2015 18:17

Rory. There are lots of little Jacksons about just now, and even some 'Jaxons' Confused

Rory.

Jackson. I don't like Rory, it's a bit wet IMO.

mellmumma · 20/12/2015 09:31

I'm a big fan of Jackson here and it is on our shortlist too! x

sofato5miles · 20/12/2015 09:36

Jackson is a surname. 'Modern' is not always a good thing.

Rory is better.

TheDowagerCuntess · 20/12/2015 09:42

Jackson is not great.

gingerdad · 20/12/2015 09:45

I know a couple of each all little shits. So personally couldn't touch either. Sorry.

Oysterbabe · 20/12/2015 11:11

Jackson is v popular.
Rory is better but for some reason I find it quite hard to say.

Lweji · 20/12/2015 11:22

Jackson is a surname and a very clear surname at that. Jack's son.
So that would be a no from me.
