Jim

[Yellowchair]

Just Jim or would you have to have James?

James is fine. Jim. Really?

James, with Jim as nn.
Gives the boy some choices in the future.
Jim isn't quite enough of a name really, imo.

I like jim! Would probably go with James on his birth certificate.

I have a friend who has a Jimmy. Just jimmy. Think it's a lovely name now it's grown on me! Wasn't too sure at first! Go with your gut

I would definitely go with James - love the name but dont like Jim / Jimmy at all. Having James on the birth certificate would at least give him options for the future in case he didnt like Jim either.

My brother is James on his birth certificate but has always been Jim. My mum regrets not just putting the name Jim on the certificate. You get some really ignorant people like teachers who refuse to use a child's nickname even when that's what they are known as.

I would put James on birth certificate with Jim as nickname.

James on BC, Jim for nickname. As others said, that gives him more options to use at different stages of his life and also covers things in case he doesn't like 'Jim' as a name as much as you do.

James with Jim as nickname.
