Ireland / alternate names

If I have a James that could possibly be from Ireland (I know he lived and worked in IReland but think he was born in Scotland) , should I include the name Seamus in my searches?  I havent been able to find this rellie anywhere!

i never write out my full middle name if i can avoid it, i think my mom started that habbit as she wont write my middle name out either as i am named after her mother in law (whom she isnt very fond of)

i would have thought Jayden was a girl, lol, but it seems no one can decide if it belongs to a boy or girl...

1. Name:Jayden
Gender: (male)   
Origin:   American
Meaning: God has heard

2. The boy's and girl's name Jayden is related to Jadon. Jayden is a rare male first name as it was not ranked for males of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census.

3.
Jayden
Most Popular Baby Names
In 2004, the name Jayden was ranked #62


another site says that if you spell it Jaydon its a boy and Jayden could be boy or girl! so confusing.

i never thought my family tree could look like a circle, who knew?!?!?  My family in the US seemed to 'keep it in the family" so to speak (late 1700s, early 1800s)  the names on that side just alternate and the women who marry into the family that arent directly related all have the same surname as well!

My worst name to search is Yonker.  I think I need to learn french in order to ever find this line :(   Baggett has proven difficult too
