JamesIan is all right but it's an old-boy name here, they're nearly all over 50 or quite a lot older than that.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________I like the name James. Though its a very popular name but still the way it feels to the ear is very smooth and calm. Very nice name indeed.

Not fond of any, but I prefer Ian. I've never liked James, sounds like an old butler to me.

How is Ian nick-namey? It is not and never has been a nickname.

IanIan seems to have so much more potential to be interesting and individual. James seems too carefully aimed at normativity. Even John is more interesting than James.

IanMore personality. Now I do love Jamie and suppose it should be short for James, but just James itself I am no longer into. There was a day I would've considered using it IRL though. Both Ian and James have been on our boy lists before.

JamesBut neither one does much for me. I like playing around with James in combos sometimes, so I will say James.

Here I will say that the name Ian has a special meaning to me. My heart thrills and my knees go a little weak whenever I see it and whenever I hear it.James did that once, too....but that died fairly quickly.As a name, I've never liked Ian. I think it whiney and somehow insubstantial. I've always liked James, it's strong, handsome, and classic.You know what? I started out intending to choose James, but James in the end was a dick and Ian will always make my heart thrill.It's legitimate to associate a name with a person and like it or dislike it due to the association, no?So Ian it is!

JamesJames is timeless and can belong to anyone, Ian is dated and a middle aged man.

I like them both very much.Right now, I'd go for Ian because James has been much more popular for a long time.

Definitely JamesA lot more timeless, clean, and you could use several methods of changing the impression with nicknames like Jim to sound casual, or Jimmy to sound happier and brighter. Or just keep it at James. Ian has fewer possibilities and a weird diphthong.

JamesFor some reason I love a lot of -ian names (Caspian, Dorian, Fabian etc.), but Ian itself is a bit dull. James I can deal with a bit better (I don't mind Jamie or Jay).
