Well my ex wanted to use the name Jim, but he didn't say why. I found out later there's a veteran in the family who's name is David but he goes by Jim, and another Jimmy as well (big Aboriginal family on ex's side).

Anyway I always said, look we'll put James on the birth certificate but we'll call him Jim. So his name is James Ewen, Ewen after my father and brother's middle name. It also taken in both parents first names as his initials - J and E.

Also I used ex's surname as that makes bub's initials J-E-T which is pretty cool.

Also lots of James in both extended families, mine and the ex's.
