Jackson - cool or naff?

[evesnee]

Whats your opinion on Jackson? Do you think cool name or naff name?

Naff(ish) - there are lots worse!

Not keen on Jack?

Naff.

Very cool. Jackie or Jacks for short extra cool.

naff

Original yet real. Excellent!

Naff, sorry. Hate surnames as first names.

sorry but really naff

Very naff I'm afraid and it will date dreadfully.

Naff.

Ignore them. They have no imagination. All boys would be Charles, William and Jack if it were down to them.

I like
imaginary ds's middle name

however increasing popularity may lead to nafness imo

I just think it's naff naming a child after a recenty deceased popstar (I'm presuming that's the inspiration?)

No, not the inspiration at all and I hadn't thought of that!

I take it you have a Jackson Spidermama?

In that case I really really wouldn't, because others will be!

You might have a point there, I'd never thought of that :S

When i was younger i picked Jaxon Red as a boys name, but DH vettoed it

I personally am not keen on surnames as first names but I would never say a name was naff.

I believe Katherine Flett who writes in the Observer has a son called Jackson. I hav elong suspected her of being an MN-er

Nafferooni, I think

Phil Hogan also has a Jackson. and I like him and suspect his wife is an mner. Still naff name though

Yes IIRC Phil Hogan (whom I also like) has other kids called Baxter, Bradley and Harrison or Johnson or Tompkinson or similar surnames.

(oh Ok just checkd and it's Baxter, Jackson, Cameron and Ryan so the last 2 mor elike proper names in my book)

I don't have a Jackson - no. I just really like it. My boys all have uncommon names. I found boys names really hard.

There may be an MJ issue although his name was, of course, Michael.

Jaxon Red is a GREAT name. Maybe you could let your ds know that if dh hadn't stopped you that would have been his name (perhaps at some level IS his true name.) Maybe then he can choose to adopt it with some credibility.

Naff

Naff.

Not personally keen on surnames as first names but Jackson and Harrison are OK.
