We are about to call our little boy Kai. He is due in 6 weeks and as soon as I heard it early in the pregnancy we knew it was perfect. We're from Australia and there aren't many little dudes called Kai here. Its a strong and unique name and we are looking forward to meeting him!

We are adopting a baby and considering the name Jacksen. I didn't realize how common it was.. hhmm... We are considering it because all of our other children are almost grown - 21, 18, 16, and we have raised a niece who is 17. He would be named after all the people who take care of him and love him.. J - Jamie (17 yr old niece) A - Aspen (17 yr old daughter) C - Carrie (me) K - Kelci (18 yr old daughter) S - Seth (21 year old son) E - Eric (husband) N - Nicole (Very close family friend, like another daughter to me)
It's going to make school classrooms inter'sting when'the teacher calls for "Jackson and half a dozen kids responds
This is the name I plan to name my unborn child. It will be pronounced Lay-la. I hope she likes it as much as I do.
Jackson is a very cute name for any baby boy. I have a little 2-year-old who i baby-sitt and he is SO cute. Great name! :)
My husband & I named our son Jackson Reginald nickname (Reggie) when he arrived Dec.2016. I always new I would name my son Jackson. For us, as we're from the deep south, this is a family name dating back to the civil war. It's a good strong American name. Nearly 12 years later, he loves his name.
my 4 month old son is called jackson and i love it. We do not know of any other person who shares the'same name.
Jackson is a strong solid name. I was fortunate enough to have Jackson as a last name. My father didn't have any boys, and I am pleased to announce that I gave my oldest son the first name of Jackson.
When I have a son someday I'm going to name him Jackson, after Michael Jackson :)
I was named jackson wolfe in 1992. I was way ahead of the curve apparently.
Yesterday, I'met a little 9 year old neighbor girl for the first time with the name "Daisy" and she'said she wanted to change her name because she didn't like it, but when I how told her that I thought that it was a beautiful name her little smile came alive and it looked just like sunshine. I hope I'made her feel better about her name and I told her that "Daisies" are some of the prettiest flowers just like her! At 61 years of age, I hope I lifted the'spirit of such a young little girl who may of been being teased about her name. To all the woman and girls with the name "Daisy" you have a beautiful name!!!
I love, love, love it!! My 6 1/2 year little boy is named Jackson and I still love it. It is a strong name but so sweet too. I was inspired by the Julia Rober's movie, Steel Magnolias. The Jackson in the movie was SOO cute and I just thought it would make such a beautiful name. My little boy has never gone by anything else and I have never let anyone shorten it to Jack, although I do like that name also. A couple of times someone said Jackie and I was like, NO! Other than that, it is pretty straight forward, people usually dont mispronounce it or anything. I do have to say I didn't know any other Jacksons when he was born but It'seems to be pretty popular now.
I named my son (turning 3 months May 16th) Jackson Douglas. Ironically I hadn't known it was quite this popular. I got it from GI'more Girls, a charachter named Jackson, but his real name was Jackson Douglas...and Douglas is my Dads name too so it was perfect. My 4 yr old daughter loved Hannah Montana as well , who on the'show has a brother named Jackson. She was in an accident last year and passed away so its a sentimental name as well. She would have picked it out of the few I was choosing between :)
My husband and I love this name. Sounds strong, yet can be a cute little boy's name.
My name is Jackson some people say it like its spelled and you say it like jacksen
Love this name. We knew from the moment we got engaged that if we ever had a son, we would name him Jackson. Our Jackson is now 8 and he loves his name too!
My wife and I are naming our Son Jackson. We thought it would be neat since her name is JACKie and my name is jaSON. Sort of a blending of the two of us.
I named my son Jaxon, I think Jackson, any spelling, is a very strong boys name. We call him Jaxon or baby-Jax.
We named our son Jaden in 2017. he's the only Jaden in the'school and he loves his name, thinks its cool. Sounds good at the'skate park too.
It's the first name of the next great physics revolutionist.
Every other baby boy I know being born these days is named Jackson. Too much. It reminds me of the Jasons in the early '80s.
I named my son Jackson after Julia Rober's boyfriend in "Steel Magnolias. I name my sons after guys on tv that I would rather be married to so I can inadvertantly live in a fantasy world
We heard this name when I was expecting our first baby 8 years ago. It was our boy name until we had our baby boy, Jackson Ryan, who is now 3 years old. I think this is a very strong boy name and love it. He does not go by Jack - this just isn't his name! He goes by Jackson.
i havent seen it as a 1st name before but im porud to have it as a last name
people thought that i was named after Michael Jackson. Isn't that just stupid. I was really named after my grandfather. He is name is Jack
We due on Apet 20 of this year and our son's name will be Xander David. We LOVE it!!
It's the name of my 18 month old son. It totally suits him!
My 6 yo son's middle name is Jackson and it has been in the family for over 100 years.. We call him Jack or Jackson ( we do not call him by his 1st name) . He is the 3rd child with the'same name from the 1940's. So our pick Isn't based on a trend but tradition ...coincidentally this name is now popular!!:)
My name is Jackson, its a great name! I like it because its unique as a first name.
I don't have a son yet, but my husband's first name is Jack. We both have cousins who named their sons Jack so that's out, but since it would be HIS son then Jackson is perfect!
Jack sounds better than Jackson
Six months from now...there's going to be another Jackson...if its a boy. Everyone else:don't pick it! Its lame to follow trends for a child's name, come on!
My 5 yr old son is Jackson. I love it! (obviously)
We named our son Jackson when he was born in 2016. We didn't know anyone called Jackson at the time but since then I have meet heqaps of people called Jackson and meet people who have called their child Jackson
I'm going to name my son due in June Jackson. I love it!!
This is our son's name and we spell it Kaleb, unique, but n't weird.
My son is named Jackson. We love the name and have never had anyone mispronounce or spell it wrong. We do not meet many other Jacksons but lots of Jacks.
I loved the name and I was thinking of naming my son Jackson. My husbands name is Jon, and mine is Faye. It is not a family name, but we fell in love with it. We are following Jackson with Vegas, I think its neat. Faye-22-Forida
I absolutely love the name Jaxon! It's very masculine for a baby boy.
I named my son Jackson in 2014. Everyone thinks its so cool. Not many Jacksons in Scotland! X

My brother-in-law and his wife are expecting and if they have a boy his name is going to be Jackson Cole... very nice.
My little cousin is named Jackson, and It's perfect for him! I think It's a really good, unique name.
I love the name Jackson ~ reminds me of the character in Melvyn Bragg's 'The Hired Man.'
My boyfriend is named Jackson. I think It's an adorable name that's so easy to say and fun to hear. Plus, I love the letter J as a first initial.
Why❤️ Why must we change the'spelling of a perfectly good day❤️
I love my name......inter'sting to see how popular it has become in recent years.....being in my mid thirties the only people I know who share my name are children (seems like more and more) The only "problem" with the name is that people are constantly asking what my first name is.......I respond "Jackson" and they say "no....your first name"
I just the love the name Jackson, but I didn't want it to be the'same old plain jane old fashion so my husband and I just spiced it up a bit and spelled it Jaxson.. plus we call him Jax for short and that also went with the'spelling.
im 12 and its my name. its kinda nice to have a name that most people dont have.
We may name our girl Kennedi. It's cute and strong and feminine and we like it a lot!
I love this name! It has a strengh to it, and Jack is a great nickname if the child thinks that 'Jackson' is too long. I'm not surprised that this name has become popular lately!
