***{{w|Jason and the Argonauts (1963 film)|Jason and the Argonauts}} came out in 1963. Given the slower speed of film distribution, it is not farfecthed to think that some future parents were seeing it for the first time in the 70s and thought that would be a groovy name for their kids, or just watched it growing up and the name stuck with them. (Source for this being the most famous Jason: the Baby Boomers of America wouldn't talk about any other Jason while I was growing up). | ***{{w|Jason and the Argonauts (1963 film)|Jason and the Argonauts}} came out in 1963.

:::Chad is a little harder. While there ''is'' a {{w|The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come|movie in the same time period with a protagonist named Chad}}, it was nowhere near as successful as Jason and the Argonauts. There was also a {{w|Chad Allan (musician)|famous Canadian TV host named Chad}} at the time. Since the nickname {{w|Chad (slang)|originated near the Canadian border}}, it seems like a more likely candidate. | :::Chad is a little harder.

***Chad Everett starred as Dr. Joe Gannon on CBS' Medical Center starting in 1969. The show was popular enough that it could have helped inspire parents to name their sons after him.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.13|108.162.242.13]] 16:27, 24 February 2020 (UTC) | ***Chad Everett starred as Dr. Joe Gannon on CBS' Medical Center starting in 1969.
