It isn’t boring as a name, I think it’s a rather cool name.
[name_f][/name_f]However[name_f][/name_f], if I’m being honest, I’m tired of it. It was the #1[name_f][/name_f] boys name in [name_f]England[/name_f] for decades, and in some of those years it was used over 9,000/10,000 times in [name_f]England[/name_f] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m], including the year I was born when it was used 9,100 times. Both of the schools I attended were swimming with Jacks in every year group.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Even[/name_m] though it got oversaturated over here, I still think it’s a cool sounding name, but just a bit overdone (at least here in England).
