How to spell middle name!?

[mothertobe789]

I had my gorgeous girl on Thursday and she is now 4 days old, going to register her birth on Thursday.
Her name is Alyssa. Her middle name will be Jay, this is to honour my dad who passed away when I was 28 weeks pregnant with her. His full name was James.
I'm unsure if I should spell it Jay or Jaye.
What do you think is better?

Jaye.

Jay

Congratulations!

Jay

Jaye

Jay

Jay is a 'real name'; the name of a bird and the usual shortening of other J names. Jaye looks made up - like a J version of Faye, or Jayne with a letter missing.

and congratulations btw

Congratulations OP! I like it with an E

Jay.

Jay, Like the bird. My dh is James, I call him Jay, looks funny written down rather than saying it! But yes, Jaye looks a bit made up whereas Jay is lovely.

Jay. Like the bird.

Look at the birds, do you like the idea of her being associated with one of them? I think they are rather gorgeous.

You could even go with James itself. - Blake Livelys daughter is called James. I wouldnt use it up front on a girl personally but I think anything goes for middles!

Congratulations! I'd go for Jay, like the bird.

Sorry for your loss, but congratulations on the arrival of your baby girl! I think Alyssa James would be really lovely 😊

Congratulations. I'd use James actually!

Or Jaime as a girl's version.

Sorry for your loss, and congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter. Alyssa is a beautiful name and Jay (spelt this way is much nicer and more fitting).

I'd use James too

Jay

I'd go for Jayne, personally. Of Jay or Jaye I'd have Jaye.

I'd go with James as well.

I like James too!

Alyssa James sounds outrageously cool!

If you prefer Jay though, I’d go with Jay, like the beautiful bird.

Another one for James!

I’d use James too.

Probably very outing but both my kids have the same middle name which is jay .. I won't divulge the family reason for it but it's a nod to someone close...I love it , it's a great initial visually for middle names 🤗
