This occurred early in his life when the family dog was run over by a car and killed. Jack announced that he wanted to be called by the dog's name "Jacksie", which was shortened to Jack. IMHO it is much superior to "Clive", his real first name.

Clive Staples Lewis was often called "Jack".
The initials stood for 'Clive Staples' but throughout his life Lewis was referred to by family and friends as 'Jack'. The reason for this was that when he was just four years old, the family dog (named Jacksie) was run over by a car. Young Clive decided then he would only be called Jacksie - and it was only as he grew older that his mother was able to cionvince him to at least change it to Jack.
C. S. Lewis' nickname, "Jack", came from his childhood when his dog, Jacksie was hit and killed by a car. After the death of his dog, Lewis would answer to nothing other than "Jacksie" for a while, later this turned to "Jack".
