Going by a middle name isn't uncommon, especially when the first name is 'preselected'. And I understand not wanting to break the chain. Especially a really long chain.
I’m Irish. And My maternal grandad is Thomas, his son, my uncle is Thomas. My uncle, in turn, has a son, whom he named Thomas, too. But at that stage, his brother, had also had a son, which he called Thomas, so they ended up calling him Mark, even though he is legally Thomas. I also have a brother Thomas😂
I come from a family name very similar to your situation. 7 generations now. I pray it continues because I love the name and the history with it. So proud of it. Partner didn’t love it but once a famous person they looked up to named their kid the very same name, it was even better. The love grew deeper.
My grandmother was *so mad* that the family called my aunt by her middle name and that my generation didn’t get “the” name at all. Apparently one girl, maybe two, got the name per generation. She claimed that she and one (cousin?) lorded it over the other girls that “I got to be ‘the’ name.” 😂 When I was pregnant that side of the family started asking me if I would use it. I was saved by having only boys 😅 but I could see myself suggesting it if I ever get a granddaughter. I won’t push for it, merely mention it.
I think that’s kinda cool actually. As long as the kid gets a nickname or some way to make an identity of their own and aren’t constantly compared to the previous name holders that’s a cool family history story to tell your friends
Now his mom is the real star - Judith Love Cohen danced with the New York Metropolitan Opera Ballet Company, wrote children’s books and worked as an engineer in the space program. Judith Love Cohen helped create the Abort-Guidance System which rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts
Isn’t that what last names /family names are for? Often it’s respectful to name your child in honor of a deceased relative that you cherish, but after yourself is egotistical
@@amandaparenteau9288 It's not about you, or your child. It's about preserving a strand of human resilience through time. When your child has their own children, they will have the same moment and think about whether to continue the tradition, and if they don't, perhaps the family no longer deserves to have it.
@@amandaparenteau9288That's what middle names are for. My sister's middle name and my middle name are from family, I think middle names are a good middle ground.
@@Tacdelioit gets a bit ridiculous using first name. That's how George Foreman ended up with George Jr, George III, George IV, George V, George VI as boys and Georgetta and Freeda George as girls. Even he had drawn the line and start calling girls Natalie instead 😂
@@Deffectedcompletely different reasons, George Forman wanted all his male children to have his famous name. It wasn't for family history or tradition
My name is Thomas Michael, they call me Mike! Plus side if someone calls and asks for Thomas "He's not home" (Prob a bill collector or sales call), If they ask for Mike. . . . . "Well hello friend (or family)"........

Those Blacksmith chains are the hardest to break.
🥁
I could almost hear that drum so clear 😂😂😂
Nailed it
Beat me to it
😂😂😂
So nice of Jack to let Howard answer his questions for him.
fr
😂
That’s just Howard. Haha
Absolutely
Thomas**
Theres a reference to this in the movie "Mars Attacks" where Jacks character's grandma with dementia keeps calling him Thomas
Well look at you! 😊
@@jajohnson6905 why the rudely sarcastic tone? it’s a nice fun fact, don’t you think?
@@tacotuttlethat was a compliment.
@@jajohnson6905no that's condescending lol

Underrated tweet
Ya Gotta Believe me.
It's-a family name
Not a matter of opinion but true history!
It's a nice name. It's also tradition and a deep one. ❤
Oooooh perfect!!!!!
"My legal name is Koopa."
"No, Bowser was my nickname."
"My legal name is Li Lotus."
"No, Po was my nickname."
My legal name is Dewey Finn
No sneedly was my nickname
I cackled
My real name is McGill
First time seeing Jack so calm and not hyperactive, yep definitely stoned 🤣🤣
Much preferred this way
He and Theo Von could be brothers
Hes not performing here. Or on some late night show.
Na, just not in character.
Just another celebrity, making Howard stern look useless
"When push came to shove, I couldn't break the chain." You and all of humanity, brother.
Thank you. I knew there was something profound there but couldn't seize it.
😂😂😂😂 nah ong
no humanity has chain breakers/trailblazers they’re just rare. obviously most will fall in line but “all” of humanity aint a cog brother. thankfully!
😂
@@samaraisnt I think it's noble to lay down individuality for something that can be handed down to the next generation.
This short felt incredibly long for some reason
Because Howard would ask a question then answer it for Jack.
Because there isn’t two videos playing, music over the original audio, and a filter on it. It’s how things used to be. How they should be.
Bro we used to not have YOU around, can we go back to that@@FallbackNkillEm
no mobile game covering half the screen and no loud background music
Im watching on the toilet taking a shit with my phone battery is at 1%... it is long as shit
"My name is Jacob"
"So why do they call you Jack" 😂😂
Middle name is Jacob, rare if ever is anyone called by their middle name. It’s kind of just there.
My middle name is Mark.
First name is Thomas.
I go by Mark.
@@thismfisprettyclever Go by Thomark.
@@nicksnyder1723 I go by my middle name and many people I know do as well. It's more common than you would think.
Going by a middle name isn't uncommon, especially when the first name is 'preselected'.
And I understand not wanting to break the chain. Especially a really long chain.
"No, they knew I was Jack". Loved it.
Even the king’s family didn’t keep the rule, but the blacksmith keep it.
Good point
Damm
His name and his Son name are Litteraly Tributes...
These are not the greatest names in the world, no. They are just a tribute.
Couldn't remember the greatest name in the world this is a tribute
This made me belly laugh 😂
Thomas is the greatest and best name in the world…Tribute
Thomas VII
The oldest son carries the name. But is referred to by their second given name.
Yea but how did they get Jack from Jacob?
@@metaLungiez they wanted to name him jack, but because respect for tradition they named him Thomas and called him jack
@@metaLungiezBecause Jack is short for Jacob.
@@finn87632 Has that always been the case? Is Jack Nickelson's real name Jacob? Why is Jack a thing if Jake is also a thing? I'm so confused. 😂
@@metaLungiezno you’re not. you’re just trolling

Jack: No I'm white.
No, this is Patrick

" I couldn't break the chain " 😂😂😂😂
🎶
I felt that.
That must've been one hell of a blunt🤣
As an Irishman I respect the tradition.
Yep. My sons name is Thomas for my grandfather.
James legally but nickname is Mac

But at that stage, his brother, had also had a son, which he called Thomas, so they ended up calling him Mark, even though he is legally Thomas. I also have a brother Thomas😂
I wanna do the same if I have children. I have my father's first name as my middle name, so id give my first name to my first son as his middle name
Imagine if he broke the chain. Hundreds of years of tradition ended cos of your feelings. So happy for him
His ancestors were blacksmiths and now he saves the metal

BTW he calls his son Sharon
not true luckily
😂😂 Johnny Cash moment
@anthonymitchell6594 Name's Sue, how do you do?!
@@richardhuczko2326luckily, Richard?!? What do you mean by that?
I think you got it wrong... It's LGBTQ+ not BTW. Which explains his son, Sharon.
You're welcome
😅🤣

This is the most human thing to talk about great conversations
Howard Stern’s podcast is as human as it gets. He used to have 0 filter.
names?? disagree
@@chscelebrity8325Howard stern would resent you said his show is a podcast
Are you serious?
It's actually about one topic the lineage of names @@Jiminy-trx
Nah, dawg. His name is Ignacio.
“I couldn’t break the chain” 😂
Now his mom is the real star - Judith Love Cohen danced with the New York Metropolitan Opera Ballet Company, wrote children’s books and worked as an engineer in the space program. Judith Love Cohen helped create the Abort-Guidance System which rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts
No shit??? I had no idea. Thks
He seems a bit hammered.
Bro if you’re going on Howard Stern in 2009 you would be too
Nice judgement
I’m all for it.
I mean there’s always a green room get together first
Thinking the same thing.
He named his son Thomas also, but everyone calls him Tyrone
He sounds intoxicated for sure.
He actually passed on his name rather than him using it during his life... 😂😂😂
I think that just shows the respect he has for his family in the end. ❤
No, just shows he bowed to pressure. If I hated my name no way on earth so would name my child it.

That is so funny when you think about it.
My brother, keeping a name in the family is what the FAMILY name is for.
Pretty much. The middle name is for one you want to keep, but not use.
Family name is last name
@@Beanhill_94 can also be the first name. thats why there are Sr. and Jr.

He still works with metal.
Shoot, if my chain was that strong, it wouldn't be above me to name my son Thomas, and push him to name his son Thomas.
"This is just a tribute!. to the best name in the world!. Jackkk!!! No wait Thomasssss!!!"
Blacksmith chains are known for being hard to break
Dudes on something lol
He battled the Devil. Shit takes a toll.
@@seanofthedead6483It was just a tribute
@@jwackyj8134what?
He's actually pretty damn anxious, his extroverted persona is more of a defense mechanism
@@MoistCubicle You gotta believe him - I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion
When the blunt hits a little harder than expected
He seems so stoned lol.
Same
So?
That is honestly such a cool family tradition. Your living in your family’s honor, and so is your son
That's how surnames came to be. It's a pretty pointless thing to do when you already have a surname though.
They already have surnames lol
@@nekhumontayeah sure, but being called idk Johnny Baker is not a cool a Billy Baker.... The third
I actually respect him way more for that.
Family traditions aren't bonds. It takes a rare kind of person to see that and value that.
His mom brought her NASA paperwork to the hospital and solved a problem for the flight crew while she was in labor
Did the doctors and nurses do a countdown when the baby started crowning?
A remarkable woman
Some arcane enchantment with those steel, he can't break the chain.
"why did your mom name you Thomas if you were going to be jack?" 😂😂😂😂😂
good question
Howard Stern has an incredible talent for dwelling and digging in to the most uninteresting aspects of interesting people.
Hahahaha
Actually though!
And interupting in a way that he wants the guest give him the ok of what he ask
This WAS interesting. Especially the ending, actually made me respect him even more. Names matter. Tradition matters. Unbroken chains matter.
@@therealdannymullen It’s the first line of his wikipedia page. I expect an interviewer to get deeper than that.
I wouldn’t have broken the chain either. Plus I wouldn’t want to be the first son in 10 generations with a different name. There’s that too.
I love Jack he's so wholesome.
Iconic voice . Eyeroll interview personality
Me now realizing the Tencious D story where the BLACKSMITH played a guitar for the princess 😂
Same here. You have no idea the pressure to keep the name going. Now i have to name my first sone Comfort.. its wild
Now imagine having a family full of Williams and being called Emory.
Is it you? xD
Don't break the chain. That's sweet history
This is awesome. Good going Thomas!
His great great great great gggggg grandfather, was such a good blacksmith, that his offspring still has issues breaking the chain. 🔥
for those that want to know. he calls his son tommy. they asked but didnt let him answer lol
Love Howard's reaction to Jack naming his son Thomas!
I loved my reaction, too.
I choked on my peach.
It's simple: Jacob > Jac > Jack
🤷♂️
He can make anything funny !!! He could just stare in the camera ,, and its funny as f.!! Hahaha 🤣
It's hilarious that he folded and named his son Thomas 😂
Eric, I mean Fred, should be able to relate to this.
Howard: isn’t it weird when people do that?
Jack: well… 😂
I need further info on how many consecutive Thomas Blacks came before Jack Black's kid, Thomas...
Blacksmith history is interesting, especially for an artist at heart.
Jack blacks not just stoned here, he actually became the bong.
My name is Thomas Michael, they call me Mike! Plus side if someone calls and asks for Thomas "He's not home" (Prob a bill collector or sales call), If they ask for Mike. . . . . "Well hello friend (or family)"........
✔️
Same here, back when I had a landline. Nowadays, unknown numbers are blocked.
Howard “you don’t know Jack “
I just rolled a j and smoked it.
what
Second time seeing Jack so calm and not hyperactive, yep definetly stoned
Im calling him Thomas from now on. 😂❤
Jacob as his legal middle name explains " Jablinksy Method" 😉
Most anoying interviewer ever
Watch conan Howard then lol
He was alright in this, though
I almost heard: "Jack as shorter for jackass"
The fact that I share a birthday with him is crazy
Thomas is higher than California's gas prices.
That's a very interesting anecdote 😄
John is also called Jack.
Better than the nickname of Richard
His notoriety only went up from there . He’s a national treasure
Now his son has to break the curse
Its weird that Thomas actually fits him too
Jack was so lit during this interview
And now they call me "out of a job"
Exactly! 🎉
he's doing the minecraft movie.
Jack was hammered in this
💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He felt the pressure and there he goes naming he’s son Thomas 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
“What do you call him?”
“Uhhh, Bartholomew”
They called him Jake for Jacob, and it morphed into Jack, genius.
JACKFATASS
Loved him for so long then he showed what he was now our entire family will boycott anything he's in
Why? What did he do?
At around 46 seconds he was stumbling over his word bro was really stoned 😂
I respect him for not breaking the chain of tradition in his family.
Hes canceled now
Go to a gym Jack.
This is the Chillest I’ve seen Jack Converse with people
“Couldn’t break the chain”😂
Imagine being the decendant of an Irish blacksmith. That is truly badass.
“I couldn’t break the chain” is hilarious
Asks if he changed his name, you can look that up on wikipedia
Holy crap... It's TOM!!!
Here son. I'm going to give you the name I resented my whole life 😂
Jack is torched 😂
