Just too much?

[laurynbrook.livejournal.com]

My top boy name and a newly found love of a boy's name seem just "too much" with our last name. Our last name is number 2 in the nation. Johnson. My trouble is my top boys names are Jackson (Jack) and Finnian (Finn). Jackson Johnson. That's terrible... or is it? I'm torn. I've loved the name Jackson since I watched Steel Magnolias for the first time at the age of 5. His name would be Jackson Allen Johnson. It's too much isn't it. It breaks my heart. Finnian is the same way. It's sounds fine as Finn but not as Finnian. WDYT?

Jackson Johnson sounds really redundant sorry. It's not only two -son names, but preceded by two common boys' J names... so to me I hear that and go "Well whose son is he - Jack's or John's?"
I think people would find that name funny.

I don't know why you said that Finnian is the same way though, there is no parallel that I can see. It is fine with Johnson as a last name.

I have never heard the name Finnian by the way.. was it meant to be Finnigan? Just wondering.. I think I like Finnian better than Finnigan (mostly because Finnigan reminds me of Michael Finnigan with whiskers on his chinnigan)
