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

It sounds like ‘Jingly’. Very Christmassy

I’ll never get the moment back of reading someone suggest Jimbalonz. This thread has had me crying with laughter. Life’s all downhill from here.

'@Katiesaidthat , of course it's a name. Have you not heard of Jimberly-Clark and Jimberly Jardashian? There are literally billions of Jimberleys at DC's school.

🙂

This has to be the funniest name ever suggested on here and that's saying something.

Lidlisthebusiness · 29/04/2024 14:44

Had to spit my coffee in the sink before I choked on it, and then continued to wheeze laugh my way through this thread. Brilliant work everyone.

It's this kind of post that results in Billy Bragg calling MN a hate site isn't it?

Antibetty · 29/04/2024 14:42

Jamesina is a legitimate Scottish girls' name
I prefer Jemima

SeriaMau · 29/04/2024 14:39

Kimberly will always remind me of the Victoria Wood sketch.

Me too. And for that reason I wouldn't saddle a child with that name either.

Katiesaidthat · 29/04/2024 14:32

I was watching Suits and Harvey calls another lawyer Jimbo, like making fun of him, this is what it reminded me of. I didn´t even now Jimberly was a name, I thought t was Kimberly with a typo.

StaunchMomma · 29/04/2024 14:28

I'm so sorry OP but I am HOWLING! 😂

Agree that Jemima/Jamilla/Jamie are a million percent better and a squillion percent less amusing.

Relaxd · 29/04/2024 14:28

Too funny! Jamie is a perfectly nice girls name and linked to Jim, if you’re serious?!

If this is an honest question I feel I must give an honest response. I find the name Jimberly hilarious and cannot stop laughing.

I agree!

Nooooo! Just no. Please don't saddle your poor child with that.

Either go with Jemima or something else entirely.

Notchangingnameagain · 29/04/2024 14:23

Netruscan · 29/04/2024 11:22

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

You actually replied this to a comment after originally suggesting to call your kid Jimberly.

Jesus.

SadCelticBunny · 29/04/2024 14:20

Jimangi!!

Like pp this thread made me smile!

Sealover123 · 29/04/2024 14:09

No to Jimberley

How about
Jimena
Jimella
Jamie

JaneJeffer · 29/04/2024 14:09

Kindly, it’s a no from me.
😂

merrymelodies · 29/04/2024 14:07

Kimberly?

unsurebut · 29/04/2024 14:07

"She left him for a taxi driver" has finished me off 😂😂😂😂

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 29/04/2024 14:03

I thought it was the name of a celebrity couple like Bennifer.

Ellie1015 · 29/04/2024 13:59

You could use James or grandfathers surname (if different to baby) as a middle name?

Jimberly is not great in my opinion.

Lakeyloo · 29/04/2024 13:57

I thought this was going to be a post about a new celebrity couple...... like Brangelina or Bennifer. Brilliant !

Coramac · 29/04/2024 13:55

I'm not sure if you're joking when suggesting Jimberley. I can't stop laughing.

I had a great aunt called Jina. Her full name was Jamesina.
