alright, originally was going to name middle name after my brother, but decided aganist that, to name him after my dad (william). these are the 3 first names me and hubby have agreed on, trying to narrow them down. now, i love jackson. but im having trouble selling other ppl (including hubby) on this name. i am being told it is a "black name" and my son is gonna be a white boy! i dont even know what this means, but i dont think a name can really have a color! what do you think!?

What's your other son's name?

I like all of those names but my favorite would probably be Jackson. I know a lot of people don't like it but.....I do  

I know a white kid named Jackson, everyone usually calls him Jacks... never even thought anything of it honestly til you said it lol. Don't think it's an issue. BUT I like Carter William better

What determines a name to be black or white?

Quoting Jen + 4!:" What's your other son's name?"

Jensen Blake

I think Jackson as a Lastname is typically a black name but when used a first name it's fairly common on both races.

I like Carter the best with Jensen.

Jensen and Jackson? Yeah I don't like that.

I voted Carter.

lol @ black name.
My son is Henry Ray, but we call him Ray.
my whole dad's side of the family didn't like it, because it's a "black name". Reminds them of Ray charelse all heroined out playing the piano in the movie 'ray'.
They said it in an insulting way.
really bothers me...

Quoting Not tellin:" What determines a name to be black or white?"

idk! i dont think there is such a thing, thats why im asking, ppl keep telling me, "you know your kid is gonna be white, right?" i have no idea what that means!

I change my answer. I didn't know your other son's name so Jackson would sound weird with Jensen. They're too similar imo. I pick Carter

sigh. this is what im feeling. this is the ONLY thing holding me back from pushing for the "jackson" win. im also afriad if i name this baby a "j" name, im gonna have to keep up the trend in the future w other babies, and idk if i wanna start that!
