I disagree with many of the previous posters who say that Jack is good as a nickname for Jackson. I disagree, as Jackson is a trendy "surname turned first name" that will sound a bit dated after the fad wears off. If this were my child, I would give them the legal name John and the nickname Jack, as it gives the child more options later in life, and I think that John sounds more professional than Jack, but Jack as a legal name would probably be fine as well, since now Jack has become a name in itself, in addition to being a nickname for John.
