Jago...

Thoughts on this name guys? It is Cornish for James

Goes without saying that we are posh...

@MikeUniformMike Iago is definitely pronounced yah-go in Wales. But Jago would be Jay-go

@redfox Happy birthday to Jago! I'm not fortunate to have a posh accent but I have a rather posh job (if there's such a thing!) Does he get called Jay much? Great to speak to someone who's used it and still loves it now!

I live in Cornwall, and I wouldn't describe it as posh. To me, it's in the same category as Jayden.

@struggling - I agree! Grew up in Cornwall and the people I know who have used Jago are not posh. But I suspect outside of Cornwall it would be quite posh

Ooh theres one in my family tree! Got a pic of him from 1881 and he's the spitting image of my dad. He was from Wiltshire so interested to hear of the cornish/welsh roots.

I absolutely love it. I wanted to call my DS Jago but his dad didn't like it, plus we are not Cornish, we were living in SE London! But I just think it's an awesome name and I loved the way it sounded with our surname too.

@catlifeisthelifeforme no funnily enough we don't call him Jay and I don't think his mates do either, I sometimes call him Jags which sounds a bit posho.

It was his Dad who really liked the name and I liked it but was not sure - we considered loads of names but I am glad we went with it. The name does seem to divide people but it does not matter if you like it.

My Jago is now up looking bemused. What a time to be 18.
Good luck. Boys are great.

I like it

I also like Otto Milo and Hugo

You forgot Arlo

I have always loved Jago and it's on my shortlist for a boy. To my ears it doesn't sound pretentious or posh at all. I can see why some think it does (it sounds similar to Hugo) but to me it's a solid, salt-of-the-earth type name (like Jack) but with the benefit of being a bit more unusual and less commonly heard.

I absolutely love Jago. Would use it in a flash if I had a boy.

I really like it, it's more labourer than landowner to me though.

Lovely name.

I've loved Jago for ages and have been surprised it hasn't caught on more, given the popularity of o ending names. Great name!

I think it's cool. I do know a Jago aged about 25 and not from Cornwall but he chose the name for himself. His real name is Joe.

Jago is one of my favourite names, along with Jacob. Would have chosen it for DS but ex-H didn't agree. Wish I had put it on the birth certificate anyway, it's not like he'd have noticed, lol.
