What are your thoughts on James? Does the meaning bother you?

---

Do you think it will ever fall out of style or fashion?

---

Do you think it's often used as a silent first name? It's pretty high up, but I hardly ever meet children or teenagers called James or any of its nicknames.

---

Which image do you get from James?

---

Which nickname is the most stylish one right now? Which one seems dated?

---

I think, like with Elizabeth, its nicknames have gone in and out of style. I feel like Jimmy and Jim are quite 40s/50s and actually likely to come back into style in a few years. Jamie feels very 70s/80s/maybe early 90s to me. James feels more current, as I feel most young men don't use a nickname. Jimbo feels 50s too. Jay feels uncommon. Maybe a bit 80s/90s. With Elizabeth I feel like Bessie is early 1900s, Betty is 30s/40s, Liz is 50s/60s, Lizzie 70s/80s, Libby 90s and Elizabeth 2000s+.

---

Which one is your favorite and which images do you get? Is it boring?

James
James "Jim"
James "Jimbo"
James "Jimmy"
James "Jay"
James "Jamie"
