wdyt of Jaye for a girl?
Btw, I went to high school with a girl named Jae (spelled like this). It does work for a girl, and suited her really well. I've never actually known a guy named Jay, so to me it suits a girl better.

I love Jaye, but only because of the character in a show called Wonderfalls (shortlived show on Fox). The main character was a girl named Jaye who was a bit... different. I think Jaye could definitely work for a girl who's a little offbeat.

I don't like Jaye for a boy OR a girl, maybe as a nn for Jade or Jaime or something but not as an actual name. ;)

Personaly I like Jaye, Jae or whetever spelling better for a girl if its only a nickname like if you name was Jaqueline and your friends called you Jae sometimes it would be better if your birthname was Jae.

I've only met males named Jay, so I find it quite masculine. I honestly dislike naming girls guy names, and this just falls under that category.

I only know boys called Jaye or Jay, so to me it is a masculine name. It is very popular where I live and I don't really like it. I do like Jaya for a girl, however. I think that is beautiful!

I still prefer Jay on a boy. Jaye is okay, but I'd rather go with Jane.

I love Jay for a boy and Jae for a girl. Jaye looks like neither one nor the other, and so I don't like it so well. It's too ambiguous.

I've known both a Jay and a Jae (whose full name was Justine, if you're curious). They're infamous in the minds of many of my classmates, because they were caught making the beast with two backs in the wrestling room! (Which is a gross prospect all its own. Ringworm, anyone?)
