I think it works. It’s not like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] really sounds like it comes from [name_m]John[/name_m] anyways and I’m sure there are lots of people who don’t realize it does. Also if you call him [name_m]Jack[/name_m] often enough it will be come his nickname, whether it’s intuitive to others or not.
I think it works. It’s more similar to [name_u]James[/name_u] than [name_m]John[/name_m] certainly.
I guess it works if you want it to work.
I think it works! I tend to like “out there” nicknames, and even so, [name_u]James[/name_u] “[name_m]Jack[/name_m]” feels pretty reasonable.
I knew a [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] who went by [name_m]Jack[/name_m].
I wouldn’t assume from [name_m]Jack[/name_m] that this person’s full name would be [name_u]James[/name_u](And was a bit confused when I learned the guy I knew was actually [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]) but I definitely think it works.
Super nice how close your guys’ first picks are. Makes for a nice and easy compromise!
Absolutely!
