Thoughts on this name guys? It is Cornish for James Star

Horrible harsh sounding name to me. Reminds me of jagged.

What are your other choices @catlifeisthelifeforme

Love it.

I like it and considered it but couldn't risk the nickname 'Jay'...

Now I know how it pronounced I think it’s an awesome name.

I love it but the first time I saw it written down (a friend of a friend used the name) I did think it was Yay-go Blush

It’s a nice name if you’re Cornish, and is pronounced ‘Jaygo’ but if you’re not and live somewhere else I suspect you’ll forever have people pronouncing it with a silent J

Love the name Jago. And I know one with no cornish connections. It was on my list until it broke one of my rules (I don't like to give any of my kids the same first initial, and I've already used a J name).

I say use it!

Honestly...no 🤷‍♀️

Grumpbum123 · 02/04/2020 15:31

I love it

Not Cornish but it does hold a very special place in our hearts and we have lots of memories there.

I think it's fine if you're Cornish and pretentious if you aren't.

whitesoxx · 02/04/2020 15:11

Much prefer James. You could nickname him Jago

LizzieAnt · 02/04/2020 15:10

I like it a lot.

Aurorie11 · 02/04/2020 14:34

It reminds me too much of Iago from the Merchant of Venice, so it's a no from me

PlantPotting · 02/04/2020 14:32

Love it
