Question

I dislike Jackson and Jaxon and I'm not too keen on Jacob. I love the name Jack but I'd like it to be short for something. Jonathan??

Answer 2

Jack is short for Jackin, an alternate form of Jankin, a English diminutive form of John, the English form of a Hebrew name, Yohanan, Johanan, or Yochanan. Originally it meant “The Lord Has Favored,” “Gift of God,” or “God is Good.

Answer 11

Errr

it can be short for John..so i'm guessing Johnathan would be fine. I guess you could even do names like Joseph or Joshua.

But Jack is a full given name in it's own right so just use that.
