You’re overthinking it mama! Although I’m sure she meant well, the nurse’s comment about your son’s name in relation to his appearance was unnecessary. I don’t know exact numbers, but there are thousands of mixed race babies born here every year, with all sorts of names, some very popular (like Jack) and some not as much. In 2025, I think it would be really silly for someone to remark on a Mexican American baby named [name_m]Jack[/name_m], it’s a very common and classic name. I know Mexicans named [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_m]Mike[/name_m], [name_m]Jon[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Irving[/name_m], etc etc. And my son, who is also Mexican American but mostly passes for white, is named [name_m]Santiago[/name_m]. Your son’s name does not have to fit into a certain box. What matters is that you love it.
[name_f][/name_f]This is also why you shouldn’t worry about the “J off” thing. It hasn’t stopped the many thousands of parents from using it before. If it was really that obvious / obscene of a reference it wouldn’t be one of the most popular names ever.
