How do you pronounce this name?

[Cosmos45]

I have a meeting tomorrow with a Jaime. I have googled and I am told by an american website that it is pronounced the same as Jamie. Just double checking that is correct?

Jay-me I would say.

Same as Jamie but jaime is female spelling

I know one of those. It's pronounced Jamie.

Yes same as Jamie

Yes, it's just Jamie

@endofacentury - thank you. It's a male with that spelling.. I'm guessing that's fairly unusual?

I've often wondered this. I know at least one male Jaime. Is the "jaymee" pronunciation meant to be a version of j'aimé ("I loved") or is it nothing to do with the French word?

Are they Spanish or Portuguese? I think that’s a fairly common male name in Spain and Portugal, and it’s pronounced like Hi-meh

It’s a very common male name of Spanish origin pronounced Hy me.

If they are Spanish, it will probably be pronounced Hi-May/Meh.

If a woman, I'd go with Jamie, if a man, I'd assume the Spanish prn. You might have to ask tbh,

I don't know what nationality they are.. am worried now how they pronounce it! Whether it's like the Spanish George (hor hay).

High-may

Definitely high meh if male

Jeh-May because I watch too much summer heights high

Jaime Lannister is Jamie

I would assume a male with the Spanish pronunciation.

Jamie, or Jaime is not a woman's name. Whatever an American website tells you.

I would pronounce it in the Spanish way - Hi-may.

Thanks all. I think I am just going to have to double check before the meeting starts. At least I spotted it, all my colleagues correspondence with him have been "Hi Jamie" even though he has signed off his emails with Jaime, and his email address is Jaime.Surname@

So depends if he’s named after him or is Spanish!

Honestly, just double check tomorrow. I have a name whose pronunciation is not obvious when written down. It's no problem correcting people and I actually find it's a good ice breaker.

And just ask him! Lovely to meet you, how do you pronounce your name because I'd hate to get it wrong.

I had a female lecturer at university called Jaime (American) and it was pronounced the same as Jamie. I’d ask if it’s a male just to make sure.

'Good Morning, I'm Sarah', leave big pause, any luck he'll say, 'Nice to meet you I'm Jaime'.

My first thought was 'Jamie' because of Jaime Lannister, but I'm not sure Game of Thrones is the best verification
