I like it but would never give it to a DC because Iago was a baddie.

mamsnet · 27/09/2011 15:23

Yago? Yago is lovely, the short form of Santiago (James in Spanish)

Never heard of Jago. Are you sure it's a name?

GwendolineMaryLacey · 27/09/2011 15:24

Lovely, Cornish isn't it? Or popular in Cornwall. Not the same as Iago, you pronounce the J.

mamsnet · 27/09/2011 15:27

Just checked that.. I stand corrected.

It is indeed a Cornish variant of James.

Lovely.

Nice name, unusual but not trying to hard imo.

OhBuggerandArse · 27/09/2011 15:37

If you are Cornish, ace. if not, not.

MirandaGoshawk · 27/09/2011 15:39

I like it Smile

To me it just says 'slum' - as in the novel 'A Child of the Jago' about the slums of East London (just round the corner from where I live now). It's also the name of a steampunk shop in East London.

So fine if you live in Cornwall, less so if you live near me!

I like it, and all the Jagos I know are lovely.

belgo · 27/09/2011 15:51

Santiago means Saint James. Diego and Tiago are the more day to day versions.

I like the name Jago.

I liked it until I read what steamedtreaclesponge wrote! Grin

Scoundrel · 27/09/2011 15:54

If I'd had a boy he'd have been Jago. I didn't have a boy, but I did have a boy dog Grin

RickGhastley · 27/09/2011 17:44
