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.
