Originally going to be called Jim after my granddad, but we've found out we're having a girl. Would this work?

Another lovely way to make a male name a bit more feminine is to hyphenate with something pretty. I’m thinking of something like “Jim-Pansy.”

If you wanted a little fun with the spelling you could try that as Jim- Panzee which would be a lovely double reference if there’s a family love of primates.

Edited

Brilliant!

Seems it's a genuine name, not a made up one...It's an American name meaning ''Dusty ol' trail''!

I think the OP might have seen the Melissa McCarthy movie 'The Boss'.In the movie a man called Jim is talking to someone but doesn't want to give his real name, he panics and says his name is Jimberly. To be fair it's a great name 😄

oakleaffy · 29/04/2024 19:56

@Netruscan In all seriousness, there are girls called 'Jamie' but they are rare.
Jamie Lee Curtis.

Netruscan · 29/04/2024 11:22

We considered that but I think it's spelt : Jemima

You're worried about misspelling Jemima and yet proposing Jimberly as a name? 🤔

Jimogen?

Jimimah.

oakleaffy · 29/04/2024 19:53

It sounds like a 1970's children's television character name.
NO , OP! 😂

This cannot be real. I’m dying 😂😂

Poor OP. What did Jim do that meant you can't consider another name? Does it have to have the stem Jim?
