I actually quite like both. If you want a more uncommon name then i'd go for Asher.

Sophronia · 10/03/2017 16:02

Asher. Jay feels a bit insubstantial.

OneSecondAfter · 10/03/2017 16:06

Asher.

Rockaby · 10/03/2017 16:31

Another vote for Asher! Smile

I've never really liked Jay and can imagine it sounding horrible in my accent some accents.

PointlessUsername · 10/03/2017 16:32

Asher

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/03/2017 16:35

Definitely Asher.

Kazzawazza69 · 10/03/2017 17:12

Asher

Sapphireshadow · 10/03/2017 17:58

Asher

I love the name Asher. I know two adult Jays and with with both of them it's a nn for longer J names, so to me it doesn't feel like a name in it's own right.

n0ne · 10/03/2017 18:10

If I had to pick one, Asher, but neither are
my bag, sorry.

ThatsNumberWanggg · 10/03/2017 19:54

Asher is much nicer. I'd presume that Jay was just an initial for something if I heard it. Or short for Jason.

NuffSaidSam · 10/03/2017 23:18

Asher.

Jay is nice as nn for something else, but not as a name on it's own.

ScarletSienna · 10/03/2017 23:33

I know a teenager called Jay which isn't short for anything and I like it but prefer Asher for reasons people have mentioned above.

TheUnicorns · 10/03/2017 23:33

Asher is a gorgeous name, have always loved it!

DramaAlpaca · 10/03/2017 23:34

Of the two, Asher.

I think of Jay as more of a nickname.

KoalaDownUnder · 10/03/2017 23:35

Asher, by default.

SleepFreeZone · 10/03/2017 23:50

Asher. Love it 👍

Yika · 11/03/2017 07:14

I like both but love Asher.

Mumzypopz · 11/03/2017 21:10

Jay is short for Jason surely? Asher is horrible

ArriettyClock1 · 11/03/2017 21:11

Both are horrid.

Izzyathome · 11/03/2017 21:26

Not keen on Jay, as said above, to me it's the nn for Jason. Asher reminds me of 'brimful of asha' and I dislike the nn Ash. Too reminiscent of the awful name Ashley.
How about Archer?

SwedishEdith · 11/03/2017 21:32

Like them both.

Archer? Why??

Xmasfairy86 · 11/03/2017 21:34

Boy or girl?
I know a Jay, his name is Jay - not a nn. Never really see it as a nn but can see how others can

serephine16 · 11/03/2017 21:34

Asher 😀
