Jimothy on special occasions

Jame Gumb the only one I ever heard of

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Was she a great big fat person?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Is that your king / baron name?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I like the cut of your…Jimb.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

How about Jimp? Every friend group needs a Jimp.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Like "jump", but with an i.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Bring out the jimp

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you for not misspelling it as Jamethon.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

How about Jimbo, but with the "J" pronounced like an "H", as in Spanish.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Only if you also pronounce the i as you would in Spanish, Heembo

James seems like the least nerdy of the names that have common nicknames. Richard is another one that's not nerdy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Same with Robert.

Do you remain Robert?

Become boring Bob?

Rob with one b or Robb with two?

If you're feeling whimsical, is it Robby or Robbie?

And if you're transitioning, you should probably avoid picking the name Margot

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Funny enough, Margot is part of a family of names that's even bigger than James and Robert.

Margot, Marjorie, Marge, Greta, Rita, Megan, Maggie, Gretchen, Maisie, Molly, Peggy... The uniting feature is that all of these names are considered variants of "Margaret," and this isn't even a comprehensive list.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh wow, that's something! I didn't see most of these coming!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget Bobby, Boberino, and the unsung classic Bert.

That's virtual insanity!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Knew a guy named James Jones. He went by Bob. For reasons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

that's a good reason to go by Jamie. Jamie Jones sounds nice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Jimbo Jorker?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

"Imagine if I had a name like Jimmy Recard" (Jimmy Recard from Drapht) is looping in my head now...

Jamie Fookin Lannister

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Jam the man

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I knew a Jimbo. Best friend for like half a decade. Dude def lived up to his name. Hope he's doing well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In the UK at least, 'Jay' is also commonly used for James. Not a bad choice. In addition, James Bond would like word about 'Nerdy' !

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Actually, James is short for Jean Names

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Okay, how about you're Jimmer, you're Jimmy, and you're Jim Bob. So you all get to be some version of Jim and we don't got to be in, fuckin... Cats.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you, Gaylord 🤣

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

The formal variant is Jame-o

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

What would a Gregg know about this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'd go with the European Jimmy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is insane, folks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Any Australians out there able to comment to tell us if Jim-o is a valid nickname?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It doesn’t matter if it’s valid or not aussies will turn anything into a nickname
