What springs to mind when you hear the name James?

My inner milk curdles when I have the name James, it reminds me of a self-conscious skater boy with a Bieber/surfing hair cut that annoyingly covers his eyes, or a selfish pig of a 'bachelor' who spends his nicer than comfy salary on his drink issues to compensate the pain for his pathetic inner weakness.

No offence to anyone of course, it's just what springs to mind when I hear the name James. Problem because I read too many books, come to think of it lol

I love the name James - it's on the list for dc3.

I have known far too many Jameses to have a singular impression of the name. However, the name Courtney always makes me think of a cartoon vampire. No idea why.

My wonderful son - and yes your post is offensive.

Red engine! I reckon your children are past the Thomas phase. I know more than I ever needed to about the island of sodding Sodor Grin

I am sniggering at your associations Grin

For me James will always be the green engine from Thomas the Tank Engine...
