Jago 
an odd little back story
so, the first time I’d ever heard this name was when I read it in @minxtruck’s top 10 boys’ list. I read it totally wrong. I blame the Norwegian in me, I pronounced it Yah-go, and thought I don’t like that very much. then I saw that @katinka said she loved the nickname “Jay” for Jago. I did some research and learned the pronunciation while also finding that it’s a Cornish version of James or Jacob, and now I’m so in love with this sweet little name!
anyway!
what are your thoughts on Jago and what middles do you feel fit?
also, do you prefer other forms of Jacob and James; and if so, which is your favorite?
thanks in advance, berries!
and a special thank you to @minxtruck and @katinka for introducing me to my latest name crush

I adore [name_m]Jago[/name_m]! It has a soft, boyish vibe that I love, and an all around sweet, adorable feel. It makes a really lovely alternative to [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], and I love the ‘Jay’ sound. I’d use it if I wasn’t so pedantic about popularity. It’s not all that popular, but is in the top 1000 in England/Wales and I like to avoid that where possible.
I think [name_m]Jago[/name_m] goes perfectly with nature related names, but also ‘younger’ sounding classics/vintage names (or both! I have [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] Robin). [name_f]My[/name_f] favourites being [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Cove[/name_u], [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] and [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (Loo-ee).
The only other [name_u]James[/name_u] variant I really like is [name_m]Hamish[/name_m]!

I love Jago! Feels very energetic and wild without being harsh. Just a fun boy licking the spoon after making brownies with his parents.

Yay! I’m so happy to see the wonderful [name_m]Jago[/name_m] get some love on NB. I absolutely adore your naming style too, often looking at your UC for inspo, and I think little [name_m]Jago[/name_m] would be perfect there with your other faves.
Surprisingly, I hadn’t thought of the nickname “Jay” until @katinka mentioned it too. I love birds so the birdie nickname made me like it even more as well. 
We almost named one of our kittens [name_m]Jago[/name_m] (he’s [name_m]Hershel[/name_m] instead) and I’m really glad we saved the name [name_m]Jago[/name_m] just in case it works for a little boy in the future. Ours would be [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Robin[/name_u], unless he’s not the first born and we’ve already used [name_u]Robin[/name_u]. In which case, I have no idea what our middle would be!
@Myosotis [name_m]Jago[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] [name_u]Robin[/name_u] is absolutely stunning. It’s a perfect mix of fun/vintage/nature. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!
