Good name. Fine name. Although a lot of people view names like Jack and Jane as the quintessential common / bland names, I don’t know any of either.I don’t think there’s anything negative that can be said for Jack.

It's approachable, but far too common.

The only Jack I ever met (As far as I remember) is a dude who’s a low-key psychopath. I actually talked about him once on here, but that’s a conversation for another day.Anyways, I quite like Jack. It’s a handsome, and somewhat interesting name despite its popularity. It also reminds me of the song “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”.

It's not too common for me. I don't know any Jacks, nor have I ever. For that reason I like it, it's snappy and scrappy but it has a warmth to it. I also like Jackie on a boy.

I'm amazed you don't know any. In the UK it was he number one name for boys from 1996 to 2008! I would have thought it would have shared similar popularity levels elsewhere.Having said that, it is very handsome.

I'm surprised too! I've known many Johns and Jons, but none went by Jack.I wonder if it's because "jack" is a slang word in North America? "Jack sh**" meaning "nothing" is a pretty common phrase... Maybe people don't use the name because of that association.
