Ideas for a fun combo for Jack?

[name_m]Jack[/name_m] is one of my favorite family names–my family is FULL of Johns, but I’d rather pass down this jaunty nn form as opposed to classic [name_m]John[/name_m] itself–but I sort of fell out-of-love with my old [name_m]Jack[/name_m] combo, and have been in the process of replacing it. So far, these are my preliminary (emphasis on the preliminary! Or even rudimentary might be a better choice…) favorites–what do you think of these (feel free to just pick out your favorites; I don’t need a HUGE analysis here), and do you have any new ideas that you think I might like? Thanks, Berries!

[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Absalom[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] (ah-GOOST)
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Christian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Emory[/name_u]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] Félicien/[name_m]Felicjan[/name_m] (fey-lee-see-eh(n)/feh-leetz-ee-yan)
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Gulliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] Kekoa
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Mathieu[/name_m] (mah-TYOO)
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Samson[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Ziven[/name_m]

I also love [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Caspar[/name_m], but as [name_m]Casper[/name_m] is vying for the number 1 spot on my boys’ list at the moment, I figured I wouldn’t stuff him as a MN in a bunch of other combos, too.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] all your combos, but if I had to pick a favorite it would probably be [name_m]Jack[/name_m] Félicien/[name_m]Felicjan[/name_m] or [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m].

love [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and I also like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Stephen[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (not on your list) . [name_u]Love[/name_u] the name [name_m]Jack[/name_m] :slight_smile:

Top 5:

[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Absalom[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Felicien[/name_m]/[name_m]Felicjan[/name_m] (prefer [name_m]Felicien[/name_m])
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Mathieu[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]

Less than optimal flow:

[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Christian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] Kekoa
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Samson[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Ziven[/name_m]

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Samson[/name_m]!

I am really liking [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]. It’s unexpected and cool. And I really like the previous suggestion of [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Sterling[/name_u], too.

Thanks, everyone! @silverrose - I love your suggestion of [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], too! Although I wonder if it’s TOO much [name_f]Narnia[/name_f], since C.S. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] went by [name_m]Jack[/name_m], too, and [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and all. Plus, I already have [name_m]Zane[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] on my list, but I may have to consider [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], too, because he’s super cool!

Anyone else?

I like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Casper[/name_m] and the suggestion of [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. I know a [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]–I think that’s pretty cute!

I love [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_u]Auden[/name_u] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]! Have you considered [name_u]Alden[/name_u]? It’s similar to [name_u]Auden[/name_u] and I think it would also sound great with [name_m]Jack[/name_m]!

[name_u]Love[/name_u], love [name_m]Jack[/name_m] :slight_smile:

(@kathrynk2313 - thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of [name_u]Alden[/name_u] at all, but thank you for thinking of me!)

I’d love to hear any other ideas anyone has! Thanks, Berries!
