Jackson
What do you think of Jackson? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I like it, but probably wouldn't use it. Its very attractive sounding to my ears, along with Jack. (Just always have) The alternative spellings are incredibly annoying though, not to mention cringy.

I get why it's so popular. There's something satisfying about the sound, like Madison. It's like clacking smooth rocks together, very gratifying. It's the perfect pop-country name - twangy but with reassuringly beige middle class principles. It's the Live Love Laugh of names: farmhouse cozy, the "aw shucks" simplicity of rural America plus the upwardly-mobile gentility of the surname-name heritage. I don't really like it, I prefer just Jack.

I don't enjoy lnfns at the best of times, and Jackson is very low on the list, especially if the child's father is Jason or Kyle. I don't enjoy Jack as an independent name either: only as a nn for John.

It's okay.
But it always reminds me of Michael Jackson

I like it on a girl. Joking. I don't like the name. Go with Jack.

I'm not using it, I'm just asking about it.
