Help[Opinions] No.
in reply to a message by MelvinSpelvin
It shouldn't. Jack has no substance or life to it. It's grossly overused and cliche, not timeless like John, the name where it came from. Am I the only person in the world who hates the name Jack?

No, you're not.
There are plenty of people who loathe the name Jack. I myself happen to love it-I consider it just as timeless as John, only cooler-but I've encountered many, MANY people who despise the name. That's all well and good, because everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm just curious as to why a simple name like Jack causes some people to foam at the mouth (not that you're one of them; I'm talking about the people I've met who say, "YUCK! I HATE that name!" right to my face). Not liking it is fine, but I've heard some downright venomous comments on this one. Which makes me want to use it even more. :)
