Can Jack be a standalone name????

futuremomma2017 · October 2015

Or does it sound better as a nickname for Jackson or another name?

It's actually a nickname for John but of course it works with Jackson too. It's one of the few nicknames I think works well as a stand alone name and I LOVE it. It's definitely a contender for me. It's also a family name for me.

Edited for clarity

Jack can absolutely be a standalone name...I know a couple and I will be using it myself if I'm lucky enough to have a little boy as it was my grandfathers name.

I much prefer Jack alone over Jackson, it's been overdone!!

sure, but i prefer it be a nn to John

It can definitely stand alone. Some people may assume that it is a nickname for John, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I know someone where Jack is his standalone name. I don't see why it could not be.

Jack can absolutely be a stand alone name. In fact, it's supposed to be. Jackson means "Jack's son". It's a surname that is trending as a first name.

As other posters stated, it's properly a nickname for John (though it works for other newer 'Jack-' names), but I agree that it stands fine on its own.

I certainly hope so as it is DS's name.

I think so.

Absolutely love love love jack. DH hates it or it would be number one on my list. It's a great stand alone name and ages really well.

Unless your last name is Pollock, Jackson is not a name, period. Jack is a nn for John(athan) but it's a lovely name on its own too. I like all the jacks I've ever met.

It can stand on its own, but i dont like it as a stand alone.

Jack will always be a nn for john to me,

BUT jack is so so so much better than jackson

little_bren · October 2015

Yes, it can! And I am so, so, so tired of Jackson!

nlwz123 · October 2015

I love Jack by itself.

TheHauntedHauswife · October 2015

Yes, I think so.

My FIL is "Jack" (for John). His first grandchild is just Jack. It's a great standalone. I don't like it as a nickname, but love it as a name.

Definitely works as a stand alone name. I like it much better than Jackson too.
