Jimothy sounds like one of those English sounding names that Chinese people like to give themselves. Like Samanfar

Wait wtf, the video I'm referencing is almost old enough to vote? God damn it I'm old.

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

Jimothy on special occasions

[–] sprite0@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Jame Gumb the only one I ever heard of

[–] BitchPeas@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Was she a great big fat person?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Is that your king / baron name?

[–] ianfraserkrillmaster@midwest.social 30 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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 1 day ago

Bring out the jimp

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 17 hours ago

I'd go with Hi-May...

And spell it just like that.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 14 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 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 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 16 hours ago

Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 2 points 17 hours ago

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

That's virtual insanity!

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

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 6 points 19 hours ago

Jimbo Jorker?

[–] SeaDawg@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 4 points 7 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.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 17 hours ago

Jamie Fookin Lannister

[–] ODuffer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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' !

[–] Jojowski@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Jam the man

[–] BingoBongoBang@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Thank you, Gaylord 🤣

[–] anomoly_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

The formal variant is Jame-o

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Actually, James is short for Jean Names

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Dunno. Greg sounds more nerdy than James.

What would a Gregg know about this

This is insane, folks.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day 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 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

I'd go with the European Jimmy

My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.
