do you like the name James?

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

?

yes

I would never have picked James but dh suggested for ds2's middle name and it goes really well.

I like it.

It's a lovely name for a boy

I'm reminded of the scene in Friends where Rachel wants it for a girl and Ross vetoes it

I love it. I think if I have another DS it will feature in some way or other.

Yes, I like it. I can't actually think that I know of any youngsters with James as a first name, though I do know some adults.

yes

yes - DS2's middle name is James. We comsdiered it for his first names but DH's surname is Brown so we thought better of it

Yes I like it. We couldn't have it, as our surname begins with S - a no no for me

(Don't agree that Jamie is chavvy btw, classic, classy Scottish name)

Yes, love it.
Lends itself to all ages of male too, a little boy, a teenager and an older man, some names don't sound right on kids IMO.

i'm not fussed for Jamie precisely because it is a classic landowning Jocko name, funnily enough. but i do love Jimmy very much. i have a friend James who i call Jimmy when feeling suitably drunk affectionate and it's lovely.

its my sons name but I would not be amused if the called him jim!!!!!

my ds is a james (or sometimes jimmy). but after he was christened another mum (of an older james) said 'wherever you go in the world you'll hear someone shouting "james! stop that at once". she maintains it's a really naughty boy's names (and on hers and my experience, there may be something to it)

james is traditional - easy - in offensive - you cant dislike it imho
