My husband is obsessed with one syllable “manly” boy names lol. I love Nash. Jack seems too popular.
Thoughts?

Sounds exactly like Gnash so no, I don't think so.

Nash sounds like gnash. Reminds me of Gnasher the dog or gnashing of teeth.

Jack was No1 boys name for several years running. Personally I think it's been overdone too recently.

How about Josh, Ash, Max or Nick?

Nash is awful. Sounds like something you do with your teeth (gnash)

I met a little Clarke the other day that might be an alternative.

Nyash is a slang word for a woman’s arse in some circles.

Jack is better.

I never comment on baby name threads as each to their own but Nash is awful in my opinion.

I know of a Nash and he’s American. It’s ok, unusual here which may be a plus. jack is timeless and lovely.

I like Nash, but can see others point about Gnasher.
Agree about Jack being overdone.
How about:

Hugh
Jed
Zac
Ted
Abe
Flynn
Finn

I know a Nash, he's a teenager and has never been teased for his name.

Nash is awful, definitely Jack. Nat or Nate are ok.

Nash is a surname so I guess it could technically become a first name. Sounds quite harsh though and reminds me of gnash/Gnasher. Cash is nicer although I don't love it, Ash is a great name and I think Jos works well as a short name for a boy or Frank perhaps

Nash is a dog's name surely?

Nash is awful, his mates would probably call him Nasher.

I love it when people roundly reject a name, and then proffer half a dozen much worse examples.
I loved a spot of 'Nash Bridges'. And the theme tune is right up there with the best. Go for it, OP.

Nash - Gnasher, Nesh
Jack - Jacko, Jacksy.

If you have other children are they called Crosby and Stills?
