Jamie and James? Same name?

[SparkleGem]

Ok so I know this is nothing to do with me, so don't need you all telling me that. But this couple I know have just had a son a few weeks back, I'll not say his first name but his middle names are Jamie James so.. - first name - Jamie James - second name. Is this only me that's finding this, silly and weird? I thought Jamie and James are the same name. I'm just finding it rather strange.. anyone else find the silly?

John Thomas has been slang for a penis for a long time.
My parents joked that if I had been a boy then they would have named me after my grandads who were John and Thomas.

Weird maybe they somehow just don’t realise?! I know someone who called their kids Harry and Henry 🤔 and another Harrison and Madison (not the same name but ridiculously similar for siblings!) also Kaya/Maya 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know someone who named there twins Mya Rose and Mia Rose. There’s no helping stupid.

Take it from a twin parent, that’s not stupid - it’s fucking genius. She’s totally found a way to get around calling twins the wrong name problem. Just basically given them the same name. I wish I’d thought of that.

I knew a June May. Surname inherited through marriage!

It’s an unusual combination to put together unless they wanted to honour two different people, even then I wouldn’t do it.

My parents knew someone called Alexander Alexander who was known by everyone as Double Ecky!

I agree they are different names but I do think Jamie is cute and I know an adult Jamie and it's suitable .
