My friend is callled Jay Jay, but her real name is Jorrellaine. I'm sure it can be used for females as well, I don't know why it's only clasified as masculine.

Jay Robinson - an actor probably best known for his riotous and famous role as Emperor Caligula in "The Robe" (1953) and "Demetrius and the Gladiators." (1954). I am not sure of his real name. I don't think Jay is an independent name.

Can also be a short name for James, Jacob, Jason or others starting with "Ja."

My son's name is James and we call him Jay for short. I find Jay nicer than Jim or Jamie.

Jay is a good nickname for a name like James or Jacob. It shouldn't be used on its own though, it has no etymology and just sounds like a nickname for a longer name.

-- Ki28  1/23/2008

This makes a decent nickname, but it's a bit youthful and minimalist as an official name.

-- slight night shiver  6/8/2008

Jay might be nice as a nickname, but PLEASE - do NOT use this as a first name. Middle name, maybe, but not first name. (Unless you like the Hindi name or meaning of Jay.) Anyway, that's just my opinion. I sorta like the sound, but I really think that it should either be short for something or a nickname - never a first name. It has no real structure as a name.

Okay, well, perhaps in SOME cases it can serve as a good first name. *Takes back some of what I said earlier* In my opinion though, it should only be followed by a substantial middle name, or else it won't sound right.

A famous bearer of this name is Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler.

There's Jay, then Jake, then Jacob. It's like a chain in my opinion. Anyways I like this name.
