why not just name him Jack if you plan on calling him that?

Because historically/traditionally, Jack is a nickname for John.

ah..I did not know that

I like it!

Two thumbs up.

I love Archer as a middle name.

John Archer sounds very classic American, like KHC's name. I dig it.

I very much appreciate you not using a NN as a real name.

[looseseal]

I really like it! How is KHC doing as things get closer? Is he excited or indifferent? My kid is so young, I don't think he comprehends it.

[AHappierHour]

I love that name!!

[bella427]

Love the combo! John Archer and Jack Archer both sound awesome. We almost named DS Archer.

Nice, strong name.

Love it!

I really like that!

FWIW, I think Jack is totally ok for a first name, and not just a nickname.

I love it! Reminds me of the captain from the Enterprise, Jonathan Archer. Nerd alert!

[jayded]

I really like it, the middle name is my favorite

[nomad100]

I like the combo but I guess I don't get swapping one short name for another since nicknames (at least in my mind) are usually shortened versions of the first name.  Plus, my dad's name is Jack so I am partial to that as a given name.

And I think of the Archer cartoon every time I read the middle name.

I love it!

My H's grandfather is a John who is called Jack.

Agreed!  Could have something to do with the fact that my father's legal first name is Jack, so the idea that it's "only a nn for John/Jackson/etc." doesn't fly with me.  :-)

I actually LOVE it. Daniel was almost John Patrick and we would call him Jack. Jack is a good name. And Archer is way cool!!!

[EmilieMadison]

Approved!

I love all of your names, including KHC's. I love both John Archer and Jack Archer but obviously I have no issues with using a traditional nickname as a first name.

Hm, did you oppose my use of Kate? I can't remember.

[TrudyCampbell]

Love it! I'm usually anti nickname but I like Jack and a nn for John.

[bonquiqui]

Good choice!

[milosh]

Love the name, good choice!

[underwaterrhymes]

I really, really like it!

[Deleted]

Excellent choice. John Asher for President!
