xp: what do you think of the name...

Jaye - for a girl.

If the baby is a boy his name will be Jay after my FIL who passed away this year. I'm not just doing this for my H. I loved my FIL very much and would like to honor him even if the baby is a girl, but we are having a lot of trouble coming up with girl J names that we agree on. I like Jenna and Joy. DH doesn't like either. DH likes Julia. I like it, but I don't love it because I think it might be a little too common these days. We can't use any Jo..... names because that is what my name starts with (Susie is my alterego for the nest!) and most friends and family call me Jo.

I've known one woman with the name Jaye, but I can't find it on any name websites. I'm pretty sure it is made up but kind of like it anyway. Will everyone always think my girl is a boy (if it even is a girl...) ? Does it go with Sam?

Ugh. This is hard. I loved the girl name we would have used for Sam, but now that my FIL is gone we really want to do something to honor him so the name we had just doesn't fit.

Opinions and ideas welcome.

I know a Jayda. I always thought that was a pretty name.

I agree Jayda is a very pretty name.

I think its sweet to name the baby after you FIL, boy or girl. Go with Jaye.

I'm not super into it.

I like Jade or Jane though...but do what you want!

Jaye is cute! It reminds me of the female G.I. Joe cartoon character "Lady Jaye"

What about Jayelin? Cute, feminine and you can still shorten it to Jaye.

I do like it. I know a little girl that has it as a middle name, as her father's name is Jason. There's also Jadyn/Jayden or Jaycee...just a couple suggestions. GL!

I also really like the name Jaylen. It's feminine and people can call her Jay for short

I like Jayda, Jada or Jade, but Jaye for a girl is NMS. You could always do that for a middle name, though, like Natalie Jaye or something. If you make it a short first name you could even call her that--Ava Jaye.

i love it!!! i've never heard it before, but might steal it for a middle name now

my uncle's middle name was jay, and my aunt was joyce, and we'd like to include some part of them in our baby's name, so jaye might just be perfect. i love it for a first name too, and even more because it means something to you guys. i'd say to go for it

My friend just named her new baby girl, Jaylynn (I don't like the spelling but you get the idea), and they call her Jay.

My mom has a student named Jayla in her class this year, which I think is beautiful! Just a suggestion.

It was hard to figure out a girl named that me and my DH liked, but we both liked Jada. I like any version that has a base of Jada sound. Plus, everyone will pick up the tribute to your FIL. Smile
