Though the media has already bombarded you enough with Michael Jackson stories this week, we feel that the last name Jackson is noteworthy not only because of the King of Pop, but also its recent popularity for boys.
Jackson is a great boys name for several reasons:
- It can be shortened instantly to a classic: Jack
- It is a last-name-turned-first-name (which we love)
- Historical significance to our country: Andrew Jackson
- Easy to spell, say
- Unique but common at the same time
On the downside, it has become much more popular in the past 10 years (moved from #183 in 1998 to #32 in 2008). On the plus side, we think it is classic enough to stick around for a while.
