Jago is Cornish for James

I like it very much.

Rory

@SorrowsPrayers , Jay-go. Iago is either Ee-A(r)-go, Ee-AH-goh or YAG-oh depending on language

Is Jago pronounced "Jaygo" or "Yaygo"?
If it is the latter, I love it.
Also like Rory so I'm no help really!

The one we know is Jaygo

What about Perrin or Pirran? I prefer either of those to Jago I'm afraid, but Rory is nice too!

Rory

Jago sounds a bit pretentious but that is maybe because I know a grown up one and he is!

Of the two Rory, but wouldn't use Rory as a close relative would say Vovy.
Prefer James and Jacob to Jago.

I really like both. I know a 19 year old Jago. He’s lovely. Quite alternative. In a good way.

I know a much older Rory. In his 50s. Very nice man. I’m surprised it’s not more popular. I considered it for DS.

I like shortish names.

Rory!
Nico?

I came across Jago only recently, I don’t see the attraction of it as name. It doesn’t sound right.

It just sounds like Diego with a J, not an odd sound in my eyes

MaloneMeadow · 28/01/2024 13:32

Jago! I’ve only ever known one but really like it, unique without being too ‘out there’

Mamette · 28/01/2024 13:31

Rory
