There are so so so many Jacks under 30.

They are both very popular, but Jack really has been overdone to the moon and and back

Ahh that’s lovely! They are both gorgeous names.

7 Arthur to 5 Jacks.. thanks all!! Both names are very sentimental to her hence being stuck with the order. Will pass it along!

AJW rather than JAW.

Jack Arthur.

Arthur Jack.

Jack is a really, really common forename. White is a pretty common surname. Jack White is in for a lifetime of admin mix-ups.

RuthW · 23/11/2022 18:45

Arthur Jack even though it'f far more popular than Jack now.

This is a good point 🙈 more unusual names are her style at all so I think he is destined for a popular name.
