Hi,

We are looking for the perfect name. We think we have found it: Jae.

We are living in London, so need something that works here. Jae does :-)

What do you think of it?

Thank you very much,

Mrs Kim

I would possibly think your child is a girl and you're trying to spell it more of a feminine way. It will be misspelt as Jay all the time.

James isn't Korean, so that wouldn't work :-)

Personally, I would register the name as something more classic, like James, then shorten it to Jae.

Because Jay isn't the same

Jay works pretty well in London I'd imagine Smile

Why not spell it Jay instead of Jae?

We need something that works in London/UK :-)

I would think he was called James abbreviated to Jay, I like it though

The child will probably have it misspelt as Jay a lot.

What is the London thing about?

...to rhyme with play :-)

How is it pronounced? Is it Jay (to rhyme with play) or Jai (to rhyme with pie)?
