Mine's Jack; I remember it means diminutive - think little things like Jack(daw) Jack(knife) Jacks(the game)

Aswell as a literal diminuative of 'John,' which I never get as it's takes the same amount of time to write as 'Jack', though Jack maybe marginaly quicker to say.

The 'Jack' in playing cards is the Nave - a sly weak character, as is the messenger bringing inconvenient news percieved, in Will S's Anthony and Cleopatra; "Take forth this jack and whip him"

I've never met a another real Jack, although I know there 100,000 of kids called it now. Still freaks me out having mother's scream my name on the street.

'A word made up from the initial letters of other words, son.'
'Well, what are the other words, mum?'
'Totally Obedient Moron, son. Now sit there and shut up.'

And I did.
