I like the name Jackson. In fact I don't think it would be bad for a girl! I think it is very catchy and very unique for a first name anyways.

Andrew Jackson was an American President.

I only know of one Jackson personally and it is spelt Jaxson. I do see a lot of 3 year olds right now with the name Jackson.

I think the name Jackson is very cute for a little boy!

-- Tito82  12/22/2006

PLEASE, PLEASE don't name your daughter Jackson. I mean, just look at the name JackSON. And then all those guy Jacksons, will feel like girls and be teased, and it will be turned into a name like Ashley or Courtney, and it shouldn't. Don't make the name Jackson or Jack feminine, Just DON'T!

I absolutely agree! The name Jackson should never be used as a girl's name. Good call annonymous user! On a girl it is disgusting but on a boy it is just beautiful.

I love the name Jackson, it's Miley's broter on Hannah Montana. There isn't too many guys named this, so it's unique and just a great name all together. =]

Jackson is the name of one of the characters in the show, Flight 29 Down.

Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, has a son named Jackson Slade, whom she refers to as "Slade".

I have heard of girls being named Jackson, Jacksyn and Jaxon. Look at Madison or MadiSON. It is so popular for a girl now. I can see Jackson on a girl. I heard Mason or MaSON on a girl recently at the mall. I know a girl who plays softball named Carson or CarSON. To some people, it's cute and sporty. Some people just like to be different. No need to worry, there will only be a small minority of girls named Jackson or Jacksyn. Perhaps, they will get the nickname of Jackie or Jacki.

I'd hate to be the little girl who gets saddled with this name. Madison at least sounds a bit feminine, while Jackson seems very masculine to me. But anyway, I like it a lot for a boy. It's a family name of mine too so I have a legitimate claim to it.

I love it, but I'm not alone unfournately and it's getting too popular fast.

-- spaz123  6/30/2007

Are you all crazy, people? Jackson is a surname and should not be used as a first name. It's just absurd. It's like naming a child Bush or Clinton.

-- angolmois  7/5/2007

Personally, I think any first name that ends with 'son' should be a male name.
And Jackson is a nice alternative to Jack, even though Jack is already a nice name.

Some people might not agree but I think that Jackson is a nice name for a girl. It's unique and not too girly.

-- aja3  8/2/2007

Please don't hurt your daughter by naming them this. It is best suited for boys.

-- CharlieRob  9/30/2007

My son's name is Jaxon, and yes it's considered a surname, there is nothing absurd about it being his first name. Honestly a lot of last names make the best first names. I.e. Carson, Preston, Harrison, Carter, and Connor just to name a few. Actualy my son's middle name is Elliot which is my maiden name, so my son has 3 LAST NAMES! How is that for unique?

Justin Chambers, who plays Alex Karev on Grey's Anatomy, has a son named Jackson.

I think a set of twins named Jasmine (f) and Jackson (m) would be fun: Jazz and Jax!

The incredibly attractive Irish actor Cillian Murphy, played the part of "Jackson Rippner" in the film Red Eye. Ironically, the character turns out to be an assassin and jokes about the similarity between him and 'Jack the Ripper'.

-- Ligeia  1/3/2008

I'm not sure why, but this always struck me as the sort of name high school dropouts with crappy jobs wind up choosing for their son. It's not a very sophisticated name. It's okay as a surname, but as a first name, it sounds rather trashy to me, even if it's actually more middle class. Some crazy people, who apparently take interesting drugs, have expressed interest in using this on a girl. Well, it will only sound somewhat acceptable on a little tomboy. On feminine girls, it would be awful. It wouldn't work on any women, now matter how masculine they are.

-- slight night shiver  4/24/2008

This is a surname. It sounds awful as a first name.

-- number1212  4/24/2008

I always think of Jacksonville. Or Jackson, Mississippi. Or Michael Jackson, my favorite :). Or dogs! I've always liked this name for dogs. :)

Popp Montgomery and Adam Kaufman became the parents of a boy, Jackson Deveraux Kaufman, on 23th December, 2007 in Los Angeles.

-- Emilie007  9/3/2008

Imagine twins called Jackson and Johnson. I prefer Johnson, as the sound is softer.

Jackson Rathbone plays Jasper Hale in the movie Twilight.

-- persephone1313  12/18/2008

I don't think I'll ever be able to hear this name and not instantly think of Miley's tiny brother, Jackson, on the show Hannah Montana! haha.

-- KillYourEgo  6/12/2009

Agh. I hate this name, even as a boy's name. And if your surname ends in -son it's just horrible. Jackson, Jayden, Johnson and other "cute" names like that are awful. But this doesn't mean that I'd hate a kid because his (or her name), so no need to take this personally.

-- Anonymous User  7/7/2009

Jackson has always reminded me of Michael Jackson. It's not a bad thing to me because I am fan of his.

-- Disney2009  8/12/2009

I normally dislike surnames used as forenames, but Jackson isn't so bad, since it sounds like more of a traditional name than, say, Campbell or Reagan. This is one name that should stay male. Neither part of it is remotely feminine; Jack is a diminutive of John, which is probably the most masculine name around, and the -son ending is obvious. The only feminine name ending in -son should be Al(l)ison!

-- Anyechka  8/24/2009

I don't really like this name. It's getting rather trendy, even though I admit it sounds more mature than Caleb or Elijah. It also makes me think of Wacko Jacko.

-- bananarama  9/18/2009

I'm a fan of unisex names, but Jackson is one name that I just cannot imagine on a girl.

-- McHobbit  10/24/2009

I actually like this name, despite the fact that it's so common in the United States and seems to remind everyone of Michael Jackson (I wonder why people don't seem to associate the name Michael with him like that, it was his first name after all). I would probably name my son Jack before I'd name him Jackson. Just imagine the teasing he'd have to endure if he'd have a friend named Michael?
