How generic sounding of a name is 'Jack Smith'?

[Still-alive]

VERY generic, especially given that “Jack” is somehow short for “John” (something I’ve never understood!) also remember how I was 6 when I moved to the States? I had heard of JFK, and I knew that John Fitzgerald Kennedy was, but I kept hearing about “Jack Kennedy” and was SO confused! Anyway, I have a funny naughty nursery rhyme about “Jack” wanna hear it? Okay here it is:

Little Jack Horner meets Miss Muffet
Little Jack Horner sat in the corner
eating Little Miss Muffet
He stuck in his thumb
and pulled out a plumb
and said “seriously Muffet, WTF is wrong w/ you
You need help! Stop shoving things up there
like it’s a pouch. You’re not a kangaroo lady…
wait, is THAT a spider?

and THAT is the naught nursery rhyme, I learned in school, in England when I was maybe 5? I didn’t actually understand it until I was about 12, but I never forgot it.

Pretty generic in English speaking countries. In the rest of the world, not so much.

[Still-alive]

It always sounds sooo un-elegant when i hear English names spoken by people in other languages lol

Lol
Maybe it's the way they (we) say.

Jack Smith? Not so bad. Both very common names, but not as common to be put together. Least not where I'm at.

[DryGermanGuy]

Looks like a son of Christopher Lee.

Mr Lee was very handsome, in my opinion.

Jack of course being generic slang for a sailor because they jack tarred their waterproofs. It was also historically given to unknown characters eg Jack the ripper, spring heeled Jack etc when you don't know their name.

I think Jack Smith has to be the most generic name at least in the western part of the world. John Smith maybe.

Better known as The Doctor.

[Guardian45]

Or Bill Brown

[Guardian45]

Or John Black

Pretty generic. You are correct. My great grandfather’s name was George Smith. There are two streets here near me that coincide. George and Smith.

Pretty generic sounding, but at least it isn't goofy.

Pretty generic went to school with one in fact but so unremarkable that until reading this title I forgot he existed

[AngryCarl]

Generic or not, he smells blood in the water. He's going to put the bite on someone.

[llorando]

Pretty generic.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]
