I think Jay is a pretty name! Maybe you should ask your parents if they would mind.

I don't see why you couldn't, it's only her middle name, one of two, after all. She might really like that her nephew has one of her names.

Well, you could say that you were honoring her and it make more sense than naming the boy Amy. :)

Man is a depth still greater than the people.

Well, since you call your sister Amy Jay, maybe you can use a version of Jay.

Maybe
Jacob
Jayden
Jason
James

Or other names like
Roy
Andre
Clay
Frey
Gray
Grey
Ray
Shay
Trey
Ray

Do you like any (don't worry, my feelings won't be hurt!)?

I don't think there's any real objective "right" or "wrong" for this kind of thing -- it's just what's acceptable in your family. Your sister may be too young to offer her input, but surely you've got other close relatives (namely your parents, but also siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles) who would have a better sense than we do. It definitely wouldn't be okay in my family, but there are many families in which it would be just fine. :)

I don't think it's a problem. (I mean you call her Amy, not Amy Jay or something, right?)

---

I love the name Jay, btw :)

---

I don't think there'd be anything wrong with it, no. However, it depends on whether you'd be okay with it, and whether it's acceptable to honour family members in your family--not on whether or not a complete stranger gives it the thumbs-up. ;)

I would say go for it, because I think Jay is an extremely handsome name for a boy.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I think it would be a nice way to honor your sis. It's cute
