I really like it. It's like Robin, a subtle nature name.

I don't think it's chav at all. Jayden yes, but Jay is nice.

My ds is a Jason, Jay is a common shortening for that (although he prefers Jas). Jays are pretty awful birds (eaters of baby birds etc) despite their bright colouring, so I don't think I'd call a child after one of them. But "j"s were out of the question for us, so a bit academic.

I used to love the name Jay until Jay-zee came along and now it seems a bit hip hop.

I do have a friend with a DS Jago which I think is lovely.

It makes me think of Jay in Eastenders!

I know a female Jay.

Jay is a proper boy's name in Welsh in its own right (I think).

My clarinet teacher is called Jay (he is Welsh) - he is such a talented dude and is so inspirational. Therefore, now when I think of the name I associate it with those two qualities and I really like the name.
