The Real Name

Here is a spoiler - Jack's name is not his real name. That has been his nickname since Day 1 of life.
Brian and I always wondered when would be a good time to tell him what his real name is. do you tell him when he is a kid? What age? 6 years? 10 years old? I really wasn't sure of when to do it or how, but this has been solved for me already.

Somehow, Jack found out his real name. I never told him, never has Brian. About three weeks ago, I said " Hey Jack, let's put on your shoes." He responded back with, No,my name is not Jack, it's Jonathan."
I was thrown and said to myself "OK , here is your time." I asked him what he wanted to be called now, Jack or Jonathan.
He said Jonathan, which by the way, felt very strange to hear coming out of him. That lasted for about 5 minutes because I said something else, and he corrected me with "No, my name is Jack."


Now, if you ask him what his name is , he will say Jack. And if you ask him what his other name is, he might say Jonathan. Depends on his mood of the day.
