He’s a great guy and I have to admit, I never could see the appeal of Jason until him. He’s an upright, honest really great guy and I’ve begun to link it to the Greek mythological Jason again in my head. That makes it alright again for me. (alright, Matt Damon as Jason Bourne really doesn’t hurt either. Matt Damon… *swoon*)

Jason’s got a nice sound and is simple and easy on the eyes. it’s not something I’d choose for one of my kids but I can see the appeal and really wouldn’t mind meeting a little one with the name again.
