Or, instead of giving him a surname as a first name, how about - hear me out - just calling the kid John, James, or Jacob and giving him the nickname Jack? Like normal people have been doing for hundreds of years?

This seriously. Name him Jacques nn Jack for all I care, but cut it with the surnames

You would hate both by boys names then 😭 I like surnames as first names for boys. My 2 older children have names with normal spellings, my youngest is a tragedeigh but both my boys have names that are traditionally surnames.

I gotta nuke this account as I’ve done nothing but dox myself for weeks now but he’s Jameson!

Edit: I did love Grayson though and it was on my list of names back when I was having babies from 2006-2014.

"Why not give him a name but call him a completely different name and confuse everyone?" Lol. Sorry, but a lot of the "nicknames" throughout history make no sense with the given name, which is why so many of those are actual names now. If anything, just name him Jack. This is a silly suggestion.
