What do you think of 'Jay' as a name for DD?

[shawtyforyou]

It's in the title. :)

Honestly?

There are so many beautiful girls' names to choose from. Why saddle her with Jay?

I know a female Jay (Justina) in her 30s.

I know a girl called Jay. And a boy called Jay.

Well..a man and a woman actually. They're both lovely and lady Jay is a nurse

I think of it as a boy's name.

Kay is much nicer and due a revival.

I think of it as a boy's name too, have only known one who had it as their full name, but also knew one who was Jay short for Jayesh.

Chubbykitty I also know a female nurse called Jay! She is one of the loveliest people I know.

I know a woman called that, and I can't stand the name as she was a dreadful thief and just a very sly person to be around

Sorry, I don't like it (for a boy or a girl)

My dd is Jaye, a bit annoying when as a baby people thought she was a boy but that soon passed, I chose the name as it meant something to me, and I had known a girl called Jaye growing up and I always loved it, I say go for it, there's a lot worse names out there and it hasn't done me or my dd any harm, and no one has ever asked if its short for anything either

Jay is a bird, or a boys name short for Jason or Jayden!

Kay or Fay are lovely though.

It's both my dc middle name but it has some significance behind it in our family. I like it.

More of a letter than a name.

First post yay! I go by Jae on pretty much everything apart from formal legal stuff, passports etc. Short for Jaedan. Its pretty irritating when people ask what its short for, I'd imagine it would be even more irritating if it wasn't short for anything.

Jaya & Jayoti are Indian girls names which can be shortened to Jay.

Can't believe so many people here are hating on it; it's the name of a bird, and I think would be a lovely name for your DD.

It's quite nice, although I'd go for something longer with Jay as nickname.

Dd1 has Jaye as her middle name.

I never use it now since finding out it is the nickname exp used for his OW.
