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

That was my first thought too!

Sunnydaysaregone · 29/04/2024 21:56

JimkAnna could work well 😊

asbestosmouth24 · 29/04/2024 21:57

please No. But what about jemma or jemmie

Tickytocky · 29/04/2024 21:57

Do it 😂😂

VeryUnlikely · 29/04/2024 21:59

I think it's a good name. Better than Polinyx or Devereaux which are trending round here

Jemma, Jacinda, Jemima, Jamelia are all females versions of James

Jim Jong Un between other serious kind answers is sending me over the edge here 😂 what a thread!

That's the best one I think. This thread has made me laugh so thats something.

Please don’t!

Greeneyegirl · 29/04/2024 22:06

Pretty sure James is higher up the rankings for girls than boys now so just do James

SharedAccountWithMySister · 29/04/2024 22:13

Rosie, after the two lovable ragdolls? That way it’s connected to Jim.

Jaime

LadyShimura · 29/04/2024 22:18

Call the baby Gia. Giacomo is Italian version of James.

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 29/04/2024 22:19

OP, have you ever thought that you might say: "Have you put your Jimmy Jams on Jimberly?' at bedtime?

Or, "Do you fancy some Jimmy Jam with the butter in your sandwich, little Jimberly JimJam?"

😬

"Polinyx"?! Hahaha ha. You could certainly have that as an alternative, possibly to "Polyfilla"

Pipsquiggle · 29/04/2024 22:23

Please @Netruscan just no. It's awful

Toddlerteaplease · 29/04/2024 11:37

Hilarious, I knew a baby through work called Jimbob. We laughed a lot. (Out of sight and hearing of the parents)

Guessing they were fans of the Waltons. Goodnight Jim Bob!

WimbyAce · 29/04/2024 22:31

Mycatsmudge · 29/04/2024 12:17

Sounds like those combined house names where the owners are Jim and Kimberley like Casa Bevron😁

Ah memories!

WimbyAce · 29/04/2024 22:32

Hartleyhare1206 · 29/04/2024 20:24

Maybe Jimmul? Then if you’re struggling for a middle name; you could consider Fixit🤔😄

This is brilliant 🤣

WhatNext24 · 29/04/2024 22:33

I'm really open minded but Jimberley is bonkers, sorry OP 😂

I would go for James as a middle name and give her a more conventional first
name. Ella James, Lily James, etc.

Toddlerteaplease · 29/04/2024 22:34

@WimbyAce I think he was named after his two grandfathers. The parents weren't the sharpest tools in the shed.
