I much prefer Evan James or Everet\Everett James

---

I'm not crazy on Everest to be honest. Though go for the name YOU like best

What if he's fat?

I've seen this name a few times for kids; Denali, McKinley, and other mountain names too. I just foresee it being a shame if the kid ends up being overweight. I hear "She's the size of Mt. Everest!" jokes in my head, and they are not funny. :(

I think Everest is a cool first name! James is not very interesting at all in the way of middle names. Although I actually don't mind the name at all. Everest James is awkward to say though. The transition from the -st to the J is too much of a tongue twister. I wouldn't use that combo.

I prefer Everett James, but overall it isn't a bad combo.

I don't particularly like Everest...it makes me think of the for-profit college.
I'd prefer Everett James.

I first read this as Everett James, which I think would be a lovely combo. However, Everest just makes me think of the mountain, and while that's not necessarily a bad association, it does make the first name Everest seem "larger than life" for a person to bear. Besides, people will probably just end up mistaking it as Everett his whole life, so why not just name him that?

Other options could be Everard or Forrest?

I think I'd prefer Everett James. That's quite dashing. Everest... I don't know, unless you have a personal connection to the mountain it seems like it's trying really hard to be "cool." Also, he'd probably get called Everett by mistake a lot anyway.

I don't enjoy geographical names or lnfns, and Everest will be easily confused with the more frequently-used Everett.

I do like James, though!

I really like both names and I even like the combo. Usually I don't like James in the MN spot cos it just screams "filler" and is so over-done. But with something more unusual like Everest, it works =)

I like that it is different and unique. I like that it invokes a beautiful natural wonder and I like the discipline and work ethic of the man who the mountain was named after.

Everett James is better
