Probably he'd be Jacek Filip (I'm Polish).
in reply to a message by Puck
Well, as I wrote I'm from Poland and I'm crazy lover of the name JACEK. FILIP is one of my favorite Polish names. I like also ALEKSANDER so Jacek Aleksander would be great. I think the name ARMIN is amazing although extremely uncommon in my country and not in the same style as Jacek so he rather wuldn't be Jacek Armin. But if I were from English-speaking country my son would be JACK or HYACINTH. Maybe Jack FINN, DECLAN Jack, Hyacinth ALEXANDER, or RASMUS Hyacinth or Hyacinth Rasmus.

Cześć! :o Do you speak Polish? Yeah! I agree. I imagine Jacek Filip as a very handsome boy or man. You didn't see me, because I'm quite new here (about few weeks).

No, not really, I only know a couple of little words and phrases through speaking to friends, but I would like to learn the language one day. Welcome to the boards!

I quite like Jacek Filip. The flow and general feel of the name is both solid and impressive. To be honest, I like it better than Jacek Aleksander, but both have great flow. Hyacinth on a boy would be quite the thing in the states! I like it a lot, but it would raise some brows. We almost went with Giacinto, the Italian male version, as a middle name and I was worried about that!Hyacinth Alexander is a spunky option! I would totally get on board with that, though I am not sure I would have the guts to use it myself.

I am a bit surprized that Hyacinth in US is generally a girl's name. I knew it always as a boy's, even though it has such a girly meaning. I always considered that Jacinda is only feminine form of it. Hmm, so now I'm not so sure that my son really would be Hyacinth. Giacinto in Italy isn't bad name, but in US or in whichever English-speaking country it sounds bad, even awfully, in my opinion.

Really? I find Giacinto to be charming. It's pronounced with a soft G, similar to an English J.... like Jah-sin-toe. Though, part of my name is Gioia... and I grew up in an Italian family. So, these sounds are familiar.
Hyacinth is not a common names at all, so it's not so much that it is girly... but that it is rare and, if even used, it is used on girls. I like it for boys or girls though.

Ah, so if in US it's pronounced the same way as in Italy, it's not so strange. At first I thought it's pronounced by the other way than in Italy, more hard. But if it's the same pronounciation it's really charming.
