I don't know if you'll like any of those. Or some may be too much of a stretch. But, do you like any?

I like it as a full name or as a nickname for James. I don't see where your faves are, so I'll just give the names that pop into my head.

Jay Christopher
Jay Riley
Jay Nicholas
Jay Matthew
Jay Timothy
Jay Elliott
Jay Sebastian

I think Jay works fine as a fn on its own and doesn't need to be short for anything.

---

Jay Bradley or Jay Owen would be my combo choices from your names list.

I like it, and I think it's fine as a full name. If you'd like to have a longer form, I think almost any "J" name would work.

-- Sarah

Well, in theory I think Jay is fine as a name on its own.
However, I once knew a boy who was always referred to as (and I'll just use the phonetic pronunciation) "jaytee."
I went for years assuming it was J.T.
Finally I found out it actually was Jay T. (Don't know what the T. stood for.)
I found the experience quite disorienting. Unnerving. Whatever.
Now maybe that's just because I'm overly concerned with spelling, names, etc. Probably wouldn't bother most people!

i like it as a full name

Like this name. Like a guy with this name. haha. in his case its not short for anything. I didnt even know it was short for anything.

I like it as a full name.

Combo from your faves: Jay Morgan.

- mirfak

I know several Jays, and I still think it is better as short for something. The only person I liked it on was an Asian boy who was very religious, and whose parents had named him after the god. Otherwise, I prefer it to be short for something.

I love Jay, both on its own and as a nickname. Anything beginning with the letter J is fair game, in this case--it's like Kiki and Gigi for a girl in that sense.

I have a character whose name is Jehoshaphat "Jay." He has siblings Hephzibah "Zibby," Kerenhappuch "Keri," and Theophilus "Tep." :D That might be a bit extreme for you, though.

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
