Jackson

• because it means "John's Son" and my hubby is John.  :)  It's also just a very strong name.  Won't be going to the girls anytime soon!
• Perfect if you like Jack, but want a longer more distinguished name with a Southern flavor.
• nice southern sounding name. I have always wanted a Jackson Blue or Jackson Beauregard.
• perfect if you prefer the name Jack, but want a more proper name. Jack is adorable for a young boy and strong for a man.
• Jackson Myles: just sounds so distinguished
• Jackson Reed :I really like Jackson because it's modern and not 'Jack'. Jack to me is old, popular and over-used. Jackson to me, seems more fresh and up to date. I think Reed suits Jackson really well, also the intials 'JR' are adorable.
• Jackson Sawyer: This name is both cool and hip

Jackson comes from an English surname meaning "son of Jack." As a first name it was used sporadically, often in commemoration of Stonewall Jackson or president Andrew Jackson in the USA. It became especially popular in the 1990s and 2000s as surname-names were very popular at the time and parents were looking for alternative long forms of John to use the diminutive Jack for their sons. in 2010 Jackson (and the forms Jaxon, Jaxson, Jaxen etc.) was #6 in the US top 7000 baby names.
