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

To be fair people probably said similar about Nigella once upon a time!

Nigella is a lovely flower, ‘love-in-a-mist’.

Jimbeau
I actually think Jimbeau-enne is super smashing great

I love you!

Really - just give your child a normal name - that’s the kindest thing you can do. Jimberley. Is years of poking fun - do you want your child to face this for your vanity and indulgence

This is so fucking funny.
The poster that said Garybelle. I'm dying.

If we are going to be silly, here's some of my favourites for middle names:
Steeve-arina
Darrenella
Johnda

Jimmi or Jimmie is an actual option…

Ghosttofu99 · 29/04/2024 21:30

If the Jim was short for James then Jamie? Or Ja’mie😉

Kelly51 · 29/04/2024 21:31

My grandparents were from Lewis, it was common to use a fathers name
for a daughter ; James would be Jamesina.

Thank you all my lovely mums netters, for the most fantabulous thread making me cry with laughter after a shitty day x

just don’t go to France or it will be very confusing when you meet people

What about good old Pauline

Jimpauline?

Viviennemary · 29/04/2024 21:35

It's probably the worst name I've seen on here for a long time. Absolutely beyond dire.

Needanewname42 · 29/04/2024 21:35

Jimbo (and the jet set)

Sorry Op it's just too funny. But we'll put it down to hormones. It's a lovely sentiment but Jimberley just doesn't work. Even most Kimberly's end up as Kim which is known as a female name, Jimberley getting shortened will end up as Jim, Jimbo or Berl.

Some of these suggestions are ridiculous! You don't want her to sound like a jimbecile.

Jimbecile!? Don't be so Jimmature. I can't Jimagine a better name.
