His full name would be James to give him options but we'd call him Jamie.

I like the name. Think it’ll see a revival. James was my grandads name & i liked it for my son (not Jamie) but my husband wasn’t keen so it’s his middle name. Solid name. Won’t be as popular nowadays as it was say in the 80s or 90s but he won’t stand out for it being weird either.

I know one who is James to his family always, but Jimmy to everyone he met as an adult.

Love James and Jamie. You won’t have control over their names as they get older so be prepared for it to become Jim or Jimmy in the future. Neither of which I like as much as James or Jamie .

I love it, but I have a cautionary tale. I called my son James intending him to go by Jamie but it didn't stick, possibly because my DH preferred James. As an adult, my son insists on James. He'll just about tolerate Jamesey, but never goes by Jamie. So I hope you can get it to stick!

I know Jamie's in their 50s and 20s.
I know lots of Jim's 40+
Jimmy a fair few who are 60+ and one in their 20s.
James I know a few kids who are James. Its a biblical timeless classic.

I prefer James & Jimmy to Jamie but that is MY preference.
To me there's Something childish about Jamie but at the same time I can't imagine a toddler Jimmy or Jim.
