Is Union Jack the name of the English Flag? or am I just dumb and missed everything in this thread?

United Kingdom flag is the aforementioned flag, is according to wiki :

'The Cross of Saint Andrew counterchanged with the Cross of Saint Patrick, over all the Cross of Saint George.'

English flag is the Cross of Saint George

Whenever I see a Netherland flag, I see a quarter-rotated French flag.

Lol you're right :)

Similary, every time I see the Russian flag I see the Serbian flag upside down lol.

I'm not sure this even warrants it's own thread. And I agree with RolStoppable, the OP's misleading us.

That's something that can't happen with our flag (Spain).

Just for curiosity, why is your flag that way? I mean, why does it have the little red cross not in the middle of the white cross?

Please excuse my bad English.

Yes, I understand that. What I'm asking is, if the Union flag came from something like this:

Why didn't they put St patrick's cross just in the middle of St Andrew's cross? Wouldn't that be easier?

Not 100% but this is my guess, as when the red line are the other side of the white, ie hung upside down, it's a distress signal, if the red was in the center you wouldnt be able to tell if it was upside down
