Hey friends!  Y'all are going to die, but I am being induced with our second son NEXT Friday and I still haven't decided on a name.  I was hoping for a little feedback.  Just to give you some background, we live in the southeast US and are really set on a traditional name.  I'm huge on family names and nicknames don't bother me a bit considering almost everyone in our family has one.  That being said, here's my first question.  I'm thinking of naming him John Campbell Blackwelder - John is a family name and Campbell is my maiden name.  Here's the thing.  I don't want to call him John and I don't want to call him Campbell.  I LOVE the nickname Jack for John - would it be terrible to have a Jack Blackwelder?  Am I just being silly and overthinking it?  Thanks for any input.

What if you used Campbell John Blackwelder and called him "CJ"...no one would ever have to know what that stood for if you called him CJ...it's catchy. Or keep it the way you had it and call him "JC". I know three different "JC"s and one is a girl.

I personally LOVE initial-names, but I know it's a love/hate thing.

No, I like initial names - and it's for sure a possibility. Right now, we're leaning toward just calling him John. Perhaps I need to get over my worry that his name will be too boring. No one ever got teased in school b/c their name was too dull, you know? :)
