Elizabeth for girls.
Elizabeth, Eliza, Beth, Lizbeth, Liz, Lizzie, Lizard, Lisbian, Lisan Al Gaib, the options are endless.
Beth can be tricky because it can also be short for Bethany.
Just Jame, the singular
Jimothy on special occasions
Is that your king / baron name?
i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"
I like the cut of your…Jimb.
jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.
How about Jimp? Every friend group needs a Jimp.
Like "jump", but with an i.
Bring out the jimp
Jamethan.
Thank you for not misspelling it as Jamethon.
How about Jimbo, but with the "J" pronounced like an "H", as in Spanish.
Only if you also pronounce the i as you would in Spanish, Heembo
I'd go with Hi-May...
And spell it just like that.
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?
And if you're transitioning, you should probably avoid picking the name Margot
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.
Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

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

I like Jamiroquai.
That's virtual insanity!
Knew a guy named James Jones. He went by Bob. For reasons.
that's a good reason to go by Jamie. Jamie Jones sounds nice.
Jimbo Jorker?
I knew a Jimbo. Best friend for like half a decade. Dude def lived up to his name. Hope he's doing well.
Jamie Fookin Lannister
Jam the man
"Imagine if I had a name like Jimmy Recard" (Jimmy Recard from Drapht) is looping in my head now...
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' !
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.
The formal variant is Jame-o
Actually, James is short for Jean Names
Thank you, Gaylord 🤣
My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.
Any Australians out there able to comment to tell us if Jim-o is a valid nickname?
It doesn’t matter if it’s valid or not aussies will turn anything into a nickname

William has it better. Will, Willy, Willis, Willie, Buddy, Bud, Bill, Billy, and Liam. Willa, Wilhemenia, Wilma, and Billie for the ladies.
I'd go with the European Jimmy
