Let's get this straight here and now...James is a MALE name and it always be! There is NO reason whatsoever for this name to be given to girls---PERIOD! It's KING JAMES...not "Queen James". This "boys names used on girls thing" has gone too far and a line needs to be crossed somewhere. For those who advocated for Jamie to be used as acceptable for girls...they need a reality check too! JAMIE is a form of JAMES too! Open your eyes...JAMIE was repurposed in America as a so-called "unisex name"/"feminine form of James", but in the UK & other Crown countries (Canada, Australia, New Zealand) it's not the case!

Using James as a girls name isn't common perhaps but it's not a new trend. My grandmother was named James and she was born in 1883. Her siblings called her Jim and in her later years when I came along she was "Miss Jim". She never admitted her name was James to me or anybody as far as I knew. In the 1960s she was required to get a social security card in her own name and since she had no birth certificate to prove otherwise she signed it Jean plus her maiden and married names. When I started working on Ancestry.com, I found the original census records dating back to her childhood and confirmed that she was indeed named James. I also found a site that listed James as a popular girls name in the late 1800's and early 1900's before it morphed into Jamie. I actually named one of my son's James after her. I have personally known women named Carl and Cecil and men named LaVerne and (don't laugh) Shirley as well as Fay so all in all I'd say James sounds pretty good.

My name is Tiago, and that is the Portuguese language form of the name James. But for Portuguese in the site there is no Tiago. There is, however, the form Iago, but it is rarely used. Tiago or Thiago is on the top 10 names used in Brazil. And it comes from Sant'Iacumus. This form was so commonly used, that when they wanted to separate "Sant" the "t" was left, becoming Tiago.
