Have you heard of the name Django (the 'D' is silent)? Are you familiar with the Jazz musician Django Reinhardt?

Our son's name is most likely going to be Django Jackson (Jackson being the middle, not last name). I received a lot of neg. feedback regarding the name Django on another board, however, in my community which is very rich culturally, and aware of the musician with the same name, I have gotten very positive feedback. Just curious how many people know this name and aren't completely freaked out by it. If you hate it, that's okay, it doesn't bother me if you do.

I was going to say NO and use the old "can you picture a CEO named Django" but after Barack Obama blew me away at the DNC (I'd vote for him) - I've changed my mind. Go for it - it's a cool name!

If it sounds good with your last name, then go for it. I'd say, if your last name is simple and straighforward, it could work. Very original! But again, like someone else said, Django Jackson together sounds a little like a tongue twister.
