Jimothy on special occasions

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago

Is that your king / baron name?

[–] sprite0@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Jame Gumb the only one I ever heard of

[–] BitchPeas@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Was she a great big fat person?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 31 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Elizabeth for girls.

Elizabeth, Eliza, Beth, Lizbeth, Liz, Lizzie, Lizard, Lisbian, Lisan Al Gaib, the options are endless.

[–] taxiiiii@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

Coming out as lisbian

i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I like the cut of your…Jimb.

jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How about Jimp? Every friend group needs a Jimp.

Like "jump", but with an i.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 21 hours ago

Bring out the jimp

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 3 points 21 hours ago

Thank you for not misspelling it as Jamethon.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

I'd go with Hi-May...

And spell it just like that.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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?

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours 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.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

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

That's virtual insanity!

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 6 points 15 hours ago

Jimbo Jorker?

[–] Jojowski@sopuli.xyz 4 points 23 hours ago

Jam the man

[–] ODuffer@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours 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' !

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 13 hours ago

Jamie Fookin Lannister

[–] SeaDawg@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] anomoly_@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours 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.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 21 hours ago

The formal variant is Jame-o

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Actually, James is short for Jean Names

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] dmajorduckie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago

This is insane, folks.

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Dunno. Greg sounds more nerdy than James.

[–] LunaChocken@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

Greg

Gregtech. - a highly sophisticated automation heavy mod for Minecraft

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

What would a Gregg know about this

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago
[–] N1ssen@lemmy.wtf 2 points 21 hours ago

I'd go with the European Jimmy

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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

[–] Gronk@aussie.zone 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah I've heard jim-o before but I wouldn't say it's super common, things either end in 'oh' or 'ie' to roll off the tongue nicely so jimmie is usually the norm.

And what of you got named Jim? I mean can they go back to James? Or are they going to stick with Jimmy and Jimbooo?
