Jimothy on special occasions

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

Is that your king / baron name?

[–] ianfraserkrillmaster@midwest.social 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I like the cut of your…Jimb.

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How about Jimp? Every friend group needs a Jimp.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

Like "jump", but with an i.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Bring out the jimp

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

Thank you for not misspelling it as Jamethon.

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

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

I'd go with Hi-May...

And spell it just like that.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

Jimbo Jorker?

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

Jam the man

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SeaDawg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

Jamie Fookin Lannister

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Actually, James is short for Jean Names

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

The formal variant is Jame-o

[–] BingoBongoBang@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you, Gaylord 🤣

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.

William has it better. Will, Willy, Willis, Willie, Buddy, Bud, Bill, Billy, and Liam. Willa, Wilhemenia, Wilma, and Billie for the ladies.

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

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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