原James is the real name of the absolute legendary comedian and talented actor, Jim Carrey, who was born as James Eugene Carrey.

原I actually really like this name. Usually I don't like popular names, but this one is an exception. It's just so rugged and old fashioned. Very 1930's. Gosh, so much better than the overused Jacob.

原James LaBrie is the singer of progressive metal band Dream Theater.

原Using James as a girls name isn't common perhaps but it's not a new trend. My grandmother was named James and she was born in 1883. Her siblings called her Jim and in her later years when I came along she was "Miss Jim". She never admitted her name was James to me or anybody as far as I knew. In the 1960s she was required to get a social security card in her own name and since she had no birth certificate to prove otherwise she signed it Jean plus her maiden and married names. When I started working on Ancestry. Com, I found the original census records dating back to her childhood and confirmed that she was indeed named James. I also found a site that listed James as a popular girls name in the late 1800's and early 1900's before it morphed into Jamie. I actually named one of my son's James after her. I have personally known women named Carl and Cecil and men named LaVerne and (don't laugh) Shirley as well as Fay so all in all I'd say James sounds pretty good.

原James Gordon is a character from the DC comics.

原This name is noble and strong, but average. There are so many James' throughout the world, it could be anyone's name. It is just like Abigail, business-like and noble, but average and boring. And the diminutives are boring as well, Jim, Jimmy, Jamie.

原Wow, people actually named their daughters James? I'm assuming those parents really wanted a son.

原I much prefer James for a girl. I don't know why, I just do.

原Hames comes from the Aramaic name of Hamza, it's present in Arabic in the same pronunciation and in Turkish as Gamzet, in Arabic it's حمزة The rounded t in the end is silent or Hamzeh, the J in old Aramaic can change to a Kh or a silent J "Yamza" hence the modern Arab name... Hamza has the meaning of a strong steadfast person, and is one of the names for a lion.

原James is a fine boy's name (I would never call a girl James). It is a truly timeless name and works on both a boy and a man. Notable James's in fiction include James Bond, Private James Frazer and James the Red Engine. In reality you have at least 4 presidents (Polk, Madison, Buchanan and Carter), James Callaghan (Prime Minister of Britain from 1976-79) and 2 Kings as well as actors James Stewart, James Dean, James May, James Beck and James Earl Jones. A truly great name.

原Sorry but I don't like this name, it's so boring. It's such a plain, bland, flavourless name. It's been getting so popular I feel like it's become too dull and unoriginal for my taste.

原I LOVE this name! It sounds really masculine and noble.

原Sorry, but I don't like the name James; I never loved it. It's so strange and different from the original version in the Holy Bible that is Yaacov (like the patriarch). It is a fact that James is another version of the name Jacob, but the last one is a lot better than it.

原The name James was unfortunately given to 38 girls born in the US in 2015.

原James Rodríguez is a Colombian footballer. He plays for the Colombia national football team and Real Madrid.

原Its a good name if you want an old fashioned name, but personally to me I would use this as a middle nameMy uncle's name is James but everybody calls him Jim.

原Personally, I hate that I can envision the name James on anyone. It makes the name feel so dull and stale to me, like it lacks its own "flavor," if you get what I mean. It's not a bad name at all, but it's so common and overused that it doesn't stand out, and I find it extremely boring.

原I think it's classic, timeless, and adaptable. You can envision a James as almost anyone. I especially like it as a middle name (it's my middle name; Annelise James).

原James is such a plain, boring name.

原James in Italian is Giacomo. Please enter the Italian version of the name since you have entered every single one except the Italian Giacomo.

原Overused and sounds like an old man's name.

原This is my name, and I think it is a cool name, but I will never call my child that. Even if my name wasn't James. I just wished that it wasn't so popular. My uncle is called Jamie, there is another 3 people called James at school, 1 is called Jamie. So I know 5 people (with Jamie) called that. And my mum knows about another 2 people called Jim. I have heard of 7 people called that (8 including me). 5 at school, 2 that mum knows, my uncle and me. I even know more people called James than William, my family name (and my middle name!) Now, back to James, I don't mind Jim, but I just don't like Jimmy too much. I like it a little tiny bit, but the y sound (ee) just got very annoying. It is just a little bit tacky. And I, for some reason, don't mind "Jamie", despite the ee sound, but that might be because I don't get called that. But the name "Semaj" is tacky and just horrible.

原Not really that famous, but James Laurence is the grandfather of Theodore "Laurie" Laurence in "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott.

原James Eagan Holmes (born December 13th, 1987) is an American mass shooter responsible for the 2012 Aurora Theater Shooting.

原I abhor this name, I really do. I mean, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it and it's much better than "Jayden", but the beyond rabid overuse and constant overrated-ness makes me despise it.

原It's soooooooooo popular but I've loved it since I saw the Great Gatsby.

原Great name! Better than all of these newly popular weird names like Declan, Reign, Leif, Cayden, Camden, and so on... Stick to the classics and your boy will grow up to be a good strong man and not have to prove himself because of a ridiculous name.

原UGH! I really don't like that name at all! :(

原(Marvel really loves this name.) James Wesley, assistant and friend of Wilson Fisk in the Netflix 'Daredevil' series.

原I like the name James well enough, even though it's perhaps the most consistently popular male name in all the United States (today it's more popular than John). But I dislike the nicknames. Jamie sounds like a kid - and also I know tons of girls named Jamie, so it has a feminine vibe - and I can't stand the sound of Jim / Jimmy. Or, God forbid, "Jimbo."

原James Clerk Maxwell, 1831–1879, was a Scottish physicist best known for his theory of electromagnetic radiation.

原I really love the name James, but if I named a son this, I don't think I'd really call him Jim like many James' get called... I mean, you named him James for a reason. And it's far too lovely a name to not ever call him that.

原My name is Tiago, and that is the Portuguese language form of the name James. But for Portuguese in the site there is no Tiago. There is, however, the form Iago, but it is rarely used. Tiago or Thiago is on the top 10 names used in Brazil. And it comes from Sant'Iacumus. This form was so commonly used, that when they wanted to separate "Sant" the "t" was left, becoming Tiago.

原James sounds like a very classic and mature name.Masculine. Strong. Confident. Refined. Honest. Endearing.You can't go wrong with a name like this. Very dependable name in my opinion. Simple and uncomplicated. No mispronouncing here. No confusion or misunderstanding. James is James. Give a boy a solid base to start off with a good classic name and he will make the name his own, grow into any type of James he so chooses.James the athleteJames the artistJames the scholarGive a boy the name James and he will do all the rest.

原Love this name, and I really can't find anything bad about it. The popularity doesn't really concern me, because unlike most popular names nowadays, it deserves to be used often.

原James is one of the best names, in my opinion. It definitely ages well, and the nickname jimmy is awesome, although Jim sounds a little too middle aged man to me. I knew a little boy named James and he went by Jamie, which I think is cute :)

原In my opinion, this name is boring and overused.

原Although James Watt a famous bearer of this name, was largely involved in the development of the steam engine, he was not its inventor. Could this please be corrected? [noted -ed]

原My name is James and I always thought it a noble name but a bit formal, as such, for Americans. I do like the nickname Jim, which is more approachable and democratic. I am surprised at the widespread dislike for Jim. In Conrad's classic Lord Jim it was used as a form of acceptance by the natives. Most speakers of other languages can say the name Jim without difficulty.

原I love this name. It's simply awesome.

原I like the name James despite its popularity. It's kind of a family thing that your son's name has James in it. MY younger sister and I often argue over who gets to use it as a first name because cousins with the same name doesn't quite work for us.My brother-in-law wants to name his son James Lars Kirk after his heros. I personally think he might as well name his son Metallica for what it's worth.

原This is a classic name, and one I have always liked as it works nicely on a child, teenager and adult.

原Ian Fleming named his literary creation after James Bond (1900-1989), the American ornithologist.

原James is the Biblical Jesus Christ's brother's name.

原A very common name in England and common to a bit lesser extent in the U.S. A very nice, classic name though. It's not trendy and it would age well.

原I'm sure everyone has the middle name James.

原MY name is James and I like it! It's a very nice and sophisticated sounding name! Sure, I get a lot of annoying nicknames (jimbo, jimmy, jim-bob, jimmy-bob to name a few!) but it's a very good name. Annoyingly, it's also a very common name. I feel I am a nice person, but I know A LOT of horrible people with this name. My grandfather and father are both named James, so that makes me James III! I also plan on naming any male children I may have James, to continue the tradition!

原James is one of those names that is hard to not like. It's timeless and classic, and it's strong as well. It's a family name, there are at least 4 people in my immediate family that are named James, so if I do use it for a child, they'd have my preferred nickname, Jay.

原James Norrington is my favorite character from Pirates of the Caribbean. I've always thought James was a noble name.

原James is a nice name. Even though it is common I don't really know many people my age named James. Jimmy is a cute nickname though I think Jamie sounds really feminine (I might be influenced by Jamie Lynn Spears). I don't like this names for girls and I don't like it spelt "Jaymes". To me, that is a very ugly spelling of a classic name.

原This is my most favorite middle name for a boy, and if I ever have a son, this will most likely be his middle name! It sounds great with any first name. Also, I love the nickname Jimmy (but I'm not a fan of Jim, and I can't stand the name Jamie)! And, who wouldn't want their kid to share their name with the amazing late actor James Dean?!
