Jaze or Jayze

[cactusses]

To be pronounced to rhyme with maze?

I prefer Jaze as it's simpler but my DP thinks Jayze looks more solid as a name. We don't like traditional names so James is off the menu. We liked Jay but it's a bit overdone and more boring.

I wonder how you arrived at the connotation of 'naughty boy'

I think ‘becoming naughty’ or being poorly disciplined and then displaying poor behaviour can often happen to children born to parents who pick shit names. Picking a ridiculous name can sometimes just be the start of a string of poor parenting choices. It’s not due to the name itself.

Don't do it

Neither.

Apparently Gary is in danger of dying out.

This .

I am sorry to be blunt - but othres have - they are awful. Do not saddle your dear child with this.

Spot on.

Please don't

Jaze

Jayze - really. 'Onto the Next one'......

I know a Gary, Colin, Nigel and Keith (all in their 40s). Does this mean I'm getting old...?

Back off the tangent, sorry but I really dislike both names. Jasper? (A different vibe I know)

Neither

Balonz?

Jaze is ever so slightly less dreadful

Neither.

Both spellings are ghastly & chavvy.

It's fine if you want your child to have an unusual name, but unusual doesn't mean stupid. Don't give your child a stupid name. You are just setting them up for failure.

Id probably go with Malcolm.

If you want to be edgy and unique go for one like Daryl or Cyril. Jayze and Jaze sound like you’re 15 year olds in the lowest set in high school who have made a baby.

No

Not unless you have just given birth to a stock car racer from the 1970s ..

What about Jayzus? Popular nickname for Jesus in Ireland.

Only if the middle name is ‘and the Wee Donkey’

Lollll

Go with Jason please.

Awful names
Very chavvy
