Today's name of the day is James. WDYT?
James has to be one of the most ubiquitous masculine names - together with all its variants, it must be tied with John and all its variants. Even though its popularity on the physical graph (for the U.S.) looks like it's declining, it's still the #4 baby boy name; and ever since SSA data started being collected on names, it has
never left the Top 20.
I like the full name well enough. Jamie is all right, as a nickname. However, I cannot stand Jim / Jimmy at all, that that is what used to make me dislike the name James. As it stands, though, it's so common that it feels like a name placeholder sometimes.
That said, I absolutely dislike James for a girl. I'm not even a big fan of Jamie on a girl, though I guess I can see the appeal.
