I know a person named Jason he has always been different in handling thin gs in life
Well I was supposed to be born on New Years. My parents had a New Years meaning name all picked out and everything. But of course I (even unborn) didn't like that name! So I went into early labor and was born on Christmas day. Of course my parents couldn't name me anything meaning New Years now ;-) So I was called Natalie. At school when my mom would talk to other mothe's and say her daughter's name was Natalie the other women would look over to the little angelic girls sitting with their dresses all so prettily and ask wich one. Then my mom would sigh and point over to the girl who was beating all the boys up.
My name is Jason..although I sometimes spell it Jacen and my friends always call me Jace...which is cool
quote from hercules: "Do You'remember the time when all the boys were named Jason and all the girls were named Brittany!"
In 1995 we named our son Jason Bradley Smith. When you marry a guy name'smith, you want the first name to be a little different and original instead of a John or Mike. I started to call him JB at the time when Dallas was on and JR Ewing was the man. But mostly we and his friends , still call him Jason or Jas .
In the late 60's the name Jason was rare so was Jennifer. Before and during the Vietnam war the'singer Donovan was popular to all the flower children, aka: me. His songs are about love and colors. I was having a baby and decided to name a girl after two of his songs. Jennifer Juniper and Celeste. If a boy it would be Jason Donovan. Named after the'singer. I had a girl so the name was Jennifer Celeste. She was my only child. Now as an adult has two sons, the first Jason Donovan (my boy) the little on named after big brother LI'm Donovan. Jason is a name that became famous in the late 60's early 70's. I thought the name was different and unique. Everyone else felt the'same I guess!..
I love this name man, Only problem is sometimes people say Jay-Sin or Jay-Sahn. Lol. I love it though, Jason Mraz has my name =D

I got the idea for the name Jason from a tv show named ❤️Here Come the Brides❤️ which was on from 1980 to 1982. Jason Bolt, played by Robert Brown, was the eldest of the Bolt brothe's who were helping to clear land in Seattle, Washington.
My brothers name is Jayson Daniel. hahaha

I like my name Jason. I was born in 1994, and no matter what school I went to, there always more than a handful of people with the'same name. So much so, that we were all called by our last names to avoid confusion. I think 1994 was a big Jason year, at least in Montreal, Canada.
I love my name (Jason). I actually never knew many other people with the name Jason and I was born in 1994. Only one class in High School did I have another Jason. There were usually one or two in my school in different grades though. I'm not a huge fan of the nickname Jay, but I love the nickname Jase.

My name's Jason and if I am any indication of the quality of the people named Jason then It'should be required that all baby boys are named Jason. In 20 years the world would enter a golden age of peace and enlightenment which would usher in a new age. A pox on all those who resist progress by not naming their sons Jason.
Jason is a perfect name, can be easily nick-named love it(Y) It's my name also and I don't get teased about it and I love it. Also if you notice in most cases in fI'ms the 'Jason' is normally the'sexy boy that all the girls have a crush on❤️

I'm a jason. i like it. kids can't really find any nasty names that rhyme with jason to tease with. there are very few, rare alternate spellings, so you don't have to spell it when you introduce yourself. i did acquire a nickname, Chase, because a friend of mine used to call me Jas, rather than Jason, and someone else misheard him and thought he was saying Chase, not Jas. but i like Chase too, so It's cool. It is not too terribly common either, so, overall, i like being a Jason.
My name is Jason Eric and my mom just chose the most common name out there in 1988. It was the title of a book that came out later in the 80's -Baby names other than Jennifer and Jason. LOL my sister's name is Jennifer!!
This is my husbands name and it fits him to the T... yes, he was born Daniel Perry... but he goes by Danny or sometimes just Dan.. I love his name...
Jason is not very popular nowadays and I love the name it fits my son perfectly. I also call him Jay.
My brother's name is Jason Blake and I think that it is a great name that'suits him very well. he'stresses that it is Jay-son not Jay-sin. I just call him Jase, but I am the only one that does.
not super fond. called my b-friend of this name "mason" instead, because It'seemed more solid and fit him better.
I love the name, and when I gave it to my son in February of 1987, I thought that I had found a unique and beautiful name to go with our last name, Smith. Boy was I wrong! By the time we left the hospital, there were 5 other Jasons in the nursery and then at least one in every one of his classes and groups of friends. I just wish that it had not become so common place.
My name is Jason and i am ashamed of all of you, and myself a little now! Chief Tizz
Way too masculine for a girl. It'should be spelt 'Gabrielle', then it'd be quite pretty.

My name is Jason,and I think It's a cool name.Everybody calls me Jay and I love it.And in Irish,it is "S❤️as❤️n" (pronounced shay-sawn in Irish).I bet you didn't know that!
As the graph shows, Jason was VERY popular in the 70's. There were always four or five Jason's in my grade. Don't know where everyone else's parents got it from, but my Mum happened to watch "Jason and the Argonauts" while pregnant and she loved it. I like the name, but hate it when people shorten it to Jas. It'sounds poofy.
My name is Jason and I love it. Never a problem with pronouncing it or spelling. Great name.
I really like the name Jason. It's my name (obviously a big reason) but there's something about it that's just different. You always see a lot of John's and Ryan's (which is a pretty cool name too). But I only know like 2 or 3 Jason's so I feel special and unique where I'm at even'though there have been millions of Jason's in the world.
My name is Jason Randolph, im a United States Marine currently stationed in Iraq. Im proud to have the name Jason, i never asked my parents why they named me Jason, but that dosent matter to me cause i am just honored knowing that they are the ones who gave it to me.
for some unknown reason, people keep confusing my name (Jason) with Justin
i love this name it just pretty when and if i have kids this will be it's name but i plan on spelling it different "Jaycion Lee" i love it
