I prefer the sound and the look of [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Walden[/name_m], but [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] is very sweet, too.

3

I prefer the good, strong, classic [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] myself.

4

TBH the sound is similar enough that I can’t really decide, but I said [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Walden[/name_m] because it’s a more interesting/unique combo.

5

Both are nice but I think [name_m]Walden[/name_m] adds something unexpected

6

While I agree with the others that [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Walden[/name_m] is nicely unexpected, I love the name [name_m]William[/name_m] too! So… I didn’t vote and I’m no help at all.

Yes, we love the unique quality of [name_m]Walden[/name_m] but also the classic appeal of [name_m]William[/name_m].

10

As a first name, I would say [name_m]William[/name_m] over [name_m]Walden[/name_m]. However, I think [name_m]Walden[/name_m] is a more interesting middle, and spices up [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. I prefer the sound of [name_m]William[/name_m] though. If I were in this naming situation, I’d look to the significance of each name. Is one an honour name? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like the meaning of the names? When explaining the meaning of your sons name to him, which would be more significant?
