I just read that someone's boyfriend wants their child to be named Jaymz something. I forget the middle name. The woman likes it, but thankfully in my opinion, doesn't think she'd actually be able to use it.

Opinions on Jaymz? I don't like it cause it's just too weird for me, and it also looks to feminine to me for some reason.

There was a guy named "Jaymz" on So you think you can dance this season. Alls I kept thinking was that the creative spelling of his name looks to feminine and that it was spelled the way a homosexual man would spell it.

I immediately thought of that Jaymz as well.

LOL. That's funny. I don't watch the show so I wasn't aware of this connection until other people commented on it.

I think it's fine (well your choice I suppose) if people screw up their names on their own as adults, but to name your child that seems cruel to me.

I love how the host would pronounce it Jessicar and James.

that is a terrible spelling. Just name him James, and if the kid wants to be kr8tyv on his own, he can go by Jaymz when he's 16, and then never again!

OHhh, that's supposed to be pronounced James. I was reading it as a really bad spelling of "Jams". Yeah, not a good name.

There was a Jaymz on "So You Think You Can Dance"

And he sucked:)

whoa...clearly I didn't read you first comment. Sorry! He wasn't that good at all.

I like Allison and Benji... :)

I love Benji...he and Heidi were so amazing together this week!

I am in love with Benji. I freaked out because of Allison in yesterday's eppy!

I don't think it looks feminine I just think it looks retarded.

IMO James is the best male name there is and its not super popular. So why ruin it with a kreaytiv spelling?

It's a great name, but I think it IS super popular, at least here. My brother is James, and wherever he goes (every class he's in, sporting group, etc) he is usually one of three. But I agree with you otherwise and if it's not popular where you are then that's great =)

that is idiotic.

If the boyfriend likes it so much, he should change HIS name to James so no innocent children get hurt.

D'oh. I meant JAYMZ. I guess it was hard for me to bring myself to type it.

LOL, good suggestion

Jaymz will be lyke the coolezt kid for surez!

LMAO

Jaymz looks like something a fourteen year old James would use as a joke to prove he is gangsta.

name him james and if you want a less common nickname go with Jimi

So ugly. It's like it thinks it's being clever, but it's not, and that just makes it all the more offensive.

it's great if you're giving birth to a DJ or hip hop artist. otherwise, NO!

LOL

LMFAO!

It reminds me of a friend of mine in high school who changed the spelling of her name from Tiffany to Typhanii.

That made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Ugh.

How yucky!

As if Tiffany isn't bad enough already?

(spoken from a Tiffany)

whoa that looks like a disease. Typhoid maybe

Definitely - I was thinking typhus. Typhanii, Typhoid and Typhus would be a great sibset.

I dont like it -at all.

When my husband and I started dating (12 years ago), and we talked about kids, he wanted to name his son Jaymz. He said something about James from Metallica spelling it that way once and he loved it. I hated it, not only the spelling, but the name. Over the years, I have grown to love the name James, but would never go with Jaymz.

I have nothing against James. I think it's a great name, but Jaymz is just way too much for me.

I hate it all around.

that seems to be the general opinion

total icon love btw!

Thanks, I like yours, too. Go Anna!

thanks :)

what is WRONG with people?
