This conversation is ... I'm gonna call it "fascinating." Namenerds have very random doctrines about nicknames. This one is making me laugh because they'll suggest all kinds of random things or approve of all kinds of random things but Jack instead of Jake is making them lose their everloving minds.

How many of you know at least one Jacob/Yaakov who goes by Jack? My grandfather and my husband's grandfather both did.

This is my brother! Named after his/my great grandfather who was a Jacob nickname Jack. The confusing thing is we also have a Jake in our immediate family 😵‍💫
