[Opinions] Re: Thomas and Jack
Maybe it's a regional thing (also maybe some are short for Jackson? idk), but I've met and heard of so many little boy Jacks. Most recent had a sister named Grace, and it struck me as one of the most unoriginal sibsets...also they were brats. I don't disagree that it's sturdy and classic, but I don't like it.I've always liked Thomas a lot, sort of despite myself (since the meaning is blah).

Lol.I know a sibset with a Jack and Grace. There are other siblings are Carter and Elijah. And they are little bit on the bratty side.

Weird. I've only met one younger Jack, and he was 17.

Okay, I checked, and Jackson is in the top 10 in Virginia and the Carolinas (it's #20, nationally), but it doesn't make the top 100 in California.I wonder what the rank would be if Jack, Jackson, Jaxon, Jaxson, Jax, and John "Jack"s were all combined.

Jack is insanely popular here across all ages here. In one of my classes I have less than 10 boys and I have 3 Jack's! Two of them are a pain in the bum! I'd say that we have at least 12 in the school.

I haven't been in America long but I haven't come across any Jacks at my hostkids schools or activities!Back in England I taught in a 3-form entry primary school, across the three Year 2 classes (children were 6 and 7yo) we had three Jacks but I don't recall hearing of many in the younger years.I'm not Grace's biggest fan but I sort of like Jack and Grace together.

I know a Jack and Grace sibling pair. They also have a brother named Will. I always just hoped they were huge Will & Grace (the tv show) fans.
