212.0. "Alice or Jack" by WELMTS::PIRIE () Thu Apr 14 1988 11:58

    We're thinking of either Alice or Jack. I haven't seen any mention
    of either.  The surname is Mannion.  
    
    I didn't use to like Jack - I thought it sounded like a dog's name
    but my partner is very keen on it so I'm trying to get used to it.
    
    I really like the name Alice - perhaps with Rebecca as a middle
    name.
    
    Any comments?

212.1Jack means Jack and not John...TOOK::ORENSTEINTue May 07 1991 12:3616
    
    My husband's name is Jack.  I like the name but he doesn't.  He
    says he hates going through life with a "nickname" for a name.
    
    Whenever I need to provide his name, like for filling out bank
    information, I am always asked, "Is it John?"  I'm so tired of
    this I feel like screaming, "Jack, J A C K -- That's what I said,
    that's what I meant!"
    
    As I originally stated, I like the name, But ...
    
    Hope this helps in your decision.
    
    As for Alice -- beautiful name.
