Jackie for a boy?

[madambugle]

The more I think about this, the more I like it.
I don't want to use Jack and have Jackie as a nickname. I wonder if I'm influenced by the dashing Jackie Merrick from Emmerdale Farm.
So, what do you think? Dh is in agreement, now to see what others think, so please be honest

I liked it for ds, we ended up calling him Jack, but everyone calls him Jacky I actually think that is how he will be known at school. Dh's grandad was Jacky even though his real name was John which is dh's name so it is a family name. Also I loved Jackie McNamara when I was a teen (blush)

My grandpa is known as Jackie - his real name is John. This is quite common in Scotland - for Johns to be called Jackie. All these names are from the same hebrew root, meaning 'supplanter'

John
Jacques
Jacob
Jack
Jacqueline
Jaclyn
Jackie and so on...

Awful.

Not fair to name a boy Jackie.

Use Jack - call him Jackie if you like but at least then he has the option as he gets older
