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

She left him for a taxi driver. 😕

Show quote history

And took all knowledge of her name with her, on the ride of her life?

Mycatsmudge · 29/04/2024 12:17

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

SeanBeansMealDeal · 29/04/2024 12:20

Jimbelle Zelle.

I heard of one once where a couple called Constance & Dominic did this!

QuietLifeNoDrama · 29/04/2024 12:22

I would go with Jimi or use it as her middle name.

How about Jim-Angie? I don't suppose one of her grandmothers is/was called Angela?

Jumanji?

Incidentally, to go back to the OP:

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

Did it really not occur to you that there was a 50% chance of the baby being a girl? It sounds like discovering that she is has now come as a massive surprise to you! Seems a bit odd to make decisive plans based on a 50/50 chance.

AFreshCleanStart · 29/04/2024 12:43

It's beautiful. Wish I'd had a daughter to name that

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 29/04/2024 12:46

It sounds like the name of one of the toys from the old BBC children's programme ' play school ' or a name of a teletubbie !

Or a Game of Thrones-type name, where an actual normal name has deliberately been modified slightly by changing a letter!

Casa Bevron!! That’s a blast from the past, this thread is killing me.

Lampzade · 29/04/2024 12:53

Please do not do this to a child

SittingBackAndWatchingTheClowns · 29/04/2024 12:53

How ridiculous.

JassyRadlett · 29/04/2024 12:55

Jimothy is our family joke name, because my eldest for a long time didn't associate it with James (despite having close family members called James) thought if Tim was short for Timothy then Jim must really be Jimothy.

I see now that it could easily have been Jimberley.

Megifer · 29/04/2024 12:55

"Jimevieve"

That's a belter 😂😂😂😂

EverybodyLTB · 29/04/2024 12:57

I am absolutely cracking up, Jimbalonz has sent me into a frenzy 😂

Jimitha or Jimizabeth are delightful
