Help[Opinions] Re: George, James, and Wyatt. (F)
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
The name James has never been unisex. If people want to use it on their girls , fine, but don't reinvent an entire history just to feel secure about your naming choices. Just own it. You want to name your daughter James.
James is the anglicised version of Iacomus which is Latin for the Hebrew Yaacov or Jacob. Jacob was first belonging to a Hebrew man. I've heard of naming a girl "Jamie" after a James , but as far as history and facts are concerned, James belongs to men.
Wyatt, I dunno.
George? Are you kidding? The first and most popular George was St. George the dragon slayer, patron saint of England. Who was very much a man. George is the name of several saints and kings. Never heard of a Queen George or a Princess George.
There is however Georgina, Georgiana, Georgette. And the very unisex name of "Georgie". The only "George" I know who was a girl was "George" from the Famous Five. So.. there.
