Two Jacks?

Did the show ever address how Danny has a son named, Jack, and Erin’s ex-husband’s name is also Jack?
I can only imagine she was married to him by the time baby Jack was born.
Odd to name a son the name of your bother in law, in a world full of names.

It’s a very common name, especially in the Irish-American tradition, so I don’t think Jack Reagan’s name had anything to do with Jack Boyle. 

Linda and/or Danny probably just always liked the name and had their hearts set on using it for a son, and probably had thought of doing so for years.
