Namenerds, help me convince SO that Jack is a bad idea! We have always talked about naming a son Jack or Jackson, but now it is the most popular name in the US for baby boys. The last five men in his family have all been named with the initials of JEL, and he wants to keep that going. He doesn't care at all that it is the most popular name now, but it makes me cringe. I love the name Jack as well, so it's hard to come up with any others. Help me come up with some contenders!
