I think a different name should have been chosen and not because of the president's past, but for the fact that this is the 3rd ship with his name on it.

They didn't name the ship after President Jackson, they named it after Jackson, Mississippi.
Only Carriers are named after the full names of Presidents.
That is why the ship is called the USS Jackson, not the USS Andrew J. Jackson.

the new ship, also designated LCS 6, was commissioned in Mississippi on Saturday and honors Jackson, Mississippi, which the Navy noted in a news release is named for former President Andrew Jackson.
