Jackson was Jackson from the start. I saw his picture a week before I went to pick him up, and I remember staring at it, and trying out other names.... but Jackson just stuck. I couldn't get it out of my head, and to me, he just LOOKED like a Jackson. The name suggestion came from my mom because we had just watched Walk the Line about Johnny Cash and loved his song 'Jackson'.

But I honestly think Jackson was named Mason in another life.

I've had 3 people that have been around him often that accidentally call him Mason, ALL the time. lol. My dad has an employee that works out of our house and she's over every day and has often times mistakenly called him Mason. She's like WHY do I do that?! And then the other day one of my friends who I see often as well did the same thing (and the two don't know each other, or the fact that they both have called him Mason lol). then someone at the dog park did it once.

And honestly, I think he does kind of look like a Mason. But I couldn't really picture him being anything else but Jackson.

So yeah if I could name him anything else, I think I'd have to go with Mason, LOL. Plus it comes out easier for some reason than Jackson. My one complaint about his name is that sometimes it just doesn't 'flow' off the tongue easily. 'Jackson' seems too long, so I often just call him Jax in real life. Also, it's becoming so popular! My sister has 2 Jackson's in her tiny pre-k class! Crazy... when I chose it, I guess maybe it was just picking off because I didn't think it was a popular first name at the time.
