Nicknames for James

[Rosduk]

We might go with James but was wondering if there are any other nicknames/short names I've forgotten about-

Jamie
Jim
Jimmy

Any others?

Jay?

Jamesy

Jimbo?

JJ

Jimbob, Jampot,

Up my way anyway!!

My DH is Jay, short for James

DS2 gets Jamesy from my Granny, it makes DH wince as he wanted James to be James only. It makes me as I let him have James William when I wanted William James on the condition that I could use a NN but he pulled a face at every one once he had his way

Jem

Rather retro.....

Ah loads I hadn't thought of thanks guys!!

Jambo, Jamo and i think the most common one now is Jamie.

Jamo (pronounced jaymo) was what we used as kids but I don't hear that much now

I have a James we call him Jim jam, Jim bob, jimbo and JJ (those are his initials)
FiL calls him Jamie which I didn't mind before but gets on my tits now.

Jem all the way!!!

I like Jamie and Jem

Jam!

I know a Jam and a Jem, both short for James. Much prefer Jem.

We have a James who we knew we never wanted to be called Jamie (which was quite popular at the time), although my mum did try a few times when he was a baby. However he has been called Jamesy, Jim, Jimbo, Jimbob etc over the years, but they are affectionate nicknames used naturally by family, not names we have decided he will be called IYSWIM.

Jem is very Edwardian.

There's a Jem in the Chalet School. Husband to Madge. BIL to Jo.

Jem is Anne's oldest boy (of Anne of Green Gables :) ) short for James Matthew. There was a Jem in the movie the Town (though not a nice one) and I wondered if it might make a comeback.

I love James too! It's FIL and BIL's name and they are Jim and Jamey (never Jamie).

Jimbles

My poor son ;)

That's the Jem I always think of Cheerful.....and then I'm reminded of poor old Walter.

Yy squoosh. And Rilla! "She did not awaken to her pain for many hours."

And Jem's Dog Monday! Oh I cannot.
