I wrote a story, and one of the main charactess was Jack from the fairy tales. In my research I discovere that Jack was the most commonly used named in fairy tales and in nursery rhymes...Tom being the second most common for both...in the English versions.
Jack was an EVERYMAN...or everyboy in some stories. No different than anyone else.
I also discovered that Jack had no last name, so in order to distinguish Jack and the Bean Stalk from Jack the Giant Killer... or the Mighty Tailor in some versions although : ) I think they are both the same... I needed to come up with a last name. So Jack 3 Beans.
I also discovered that in the American versions Jack relied more on wit and cunning than on the Europena versions relying on magic and others to help him out.
Jack is the hero I want to be, and a reluctant hero in my story...anyway...
That is why Jack for me.

Although people think that I am referring to my age in my name it is really that in the 70's I went to the Air Force Academy. After graduation I went to pilot training to learn to fly airplanes. I have 3000 hours of flying time in the C-141 Starlifter. Hence Oldpilot
Mine is not really that interesting....I chose confusedwife because that is what I felt/feel like! I didn't have a clue that anything was wrong in my marraige and when he told me about OW, he said that he loved both of us and I was "confused" about our whole situation...and then I found DB and discovered he was in MLC! I am not as confused but will keep the name for now!

D Money is a nickname friends of mine gave me. My first name being Dennis is where the D comes from and they say I'm always right on the money. So they either call me D or D Money.
my screen name is my initials and 2nd marriage as a description. But I want to ask what is your story. I cannot find your background are you currently still married to your W?
On another forum, I use the screen name "Stillhopeful". I have since shortened it to "Still" which has been reinforced by constantly seeing the Bible verse (emails, church, even on a billboard):
