It is odd that the turkey and the doll (both given Presidential pardons) were both named "Jack." Then years later, Robert called his son "Jack."
It seem odd that Robert would name his son after a turkey.

"Jack" was only a nickname, his given name was Abraham. As for nicknames, nothing would surprise me, so I wouldn't draw this conclusion.

Noah Brooks did indeed not mention the turkey's name, so you are right, he might as well have had a different name. I think all is possible. So - why was Robert's son nicknamed "Jack"?
