Sweet baby Jack stole my heart. He was so tiny and had so much personality! Jack’s dad is a police officer and his grandfather is a retired firefighter. The family brought items that we could work into the session. I think adding these personal touches is really important. That is what separates a simply session from a family heirloom. I had big ideas for baby Jack, but like all newborn sessions the baby is in charge. He had little interest in allowing me to pose him the way I wanted for baskets and things, so we just worked with what he likes!
Name that baby! The Jack Edition. Thank you nameberry!
Jack was, until 2011 when he was unseated by Oliver, for years the Number 1 name in England and is firmly in the Top 40 here, having returned to the Top 100 in 1996. Jack is a durable, cheery everyman form of John, and has been chosen for their sons by dozens of celebs, such as Matt Lauer, Luke Perry, Meg Ryan and KirkCameron.
How did John get to Jack? It went from John to Johnkin to Jankin to Jackin to Jack.
Familiar to all from earliest childhood via Jack and Jill, Jack Sprat, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Jack Horner et al, the name was so common in the Middle Ages that Jack became a generic term for a man.
Jack is still a favorite for novel, TV and movie characters, including “24” ‘s Jack Bauer, “Lost” ‘s Jack Shepard and “30 Rock” ‘s Jack Donaghy. Dads especially seem to like Jack.
Jack has been a top name across the English-speaking world, for well over a decade, and is currently still the Number 1 name in Scotland and Ireland.
The jaunty Scottish version is Jock.
