Comments for the name Jay (1)

Jay Scott Greenspan is the real name of actor Jason Alexander.

Jay Gatsby, the title character of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

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."

Homer Simpson's middle name is Jay.

Why can't Jay be used as an independant name?

Jay, Sparrow, and Robin always come together when I think of one.

Due to the amount of immature boys in my form, poor Jay is called Jay the gay.

Jay Kay, frontman of English band Jamiroquai. Great singer, songwriter and dancer.

Jay L. Schottenstein, chairman of American Eagle Outfitters.

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.

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

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.

Jay Leno, comedian and former host of The Tonight Show.

Looks incomplete, and can easily go from sounding fairly pretty to annoying. Use it as a nickname.

Jay DeMarcus, bassist of Rascal Flatts. :)

I actually really like Jay as a name on its own, as well as a nickname for Jason or James or what have you. It reminds me of a blue jay.

Jay, a character from Marble Hornets.

Famous bearer is Jay Gatsby. Or James.

It's a nice name with style but I wouldn't name a kid this because of the Blue Jay bird.

It's a nice name on its own; it's not my favorite but I still like it. It also can be a nickname for pretty much any male name beginning with the letter J :-)
