Jackson was named after the Johnny Cash song 'Jackson'. When the Walk the Line movie came out, my family went thru a bit of a Johnny Cash phase. I think we had bought the soundtrack or something and we were always joking around singing 'jackson'. Anyway, when I decided to get a pup, and was coming up with names ... my mom suggested it and I immediately went 'I love it!' and it just stuck. I kept looking at the photo I had of him before I met him and I just knew he was a Jackson. I also am a fan of Michael Jackson so it fit. It's become a bit more popular than I thought it would be, lol... I like more unique names and at the time, had never met anyone named Jackson. Now there's two of them in my little sisters daycare class! I've only met one other dog in person though with the name. |
