My name

You've probably guessed that Jack N. Stock is not my real name. I started with Stock primarily for its use in the motion picture industry: stock footage, stock character and raw stock. This was suggested by someone I met online who was involved in the film industry.

Jack followed because of its frequent use both as a given name and in fiction. If you're ever writing a story and can't think of a name for a male character, or maybe your puppy doesn't have a spot, call him "Jack." It's kind of a stock name.

Finally, I guessed that there are probably plenty of people whose real name is Jack Stock (here's an example), so I decided to use a middle initial to limit the possibility of confusion. N seemed like a good choice, kind of in the middle of the alphabet (14th of 26), and it seemed to me simpler and more dignified than M, which has a fancy extra leg. It's kind of a stock middle initial.
