Originally going to be called Jim after my granddad, but we've found out we're having a girl. Would this work?

I'm really open minded but Jimberley is bonkers, sorry OP 😂

I would go for James as a middle name and give her a more conventional first
name. Ella James, Lily James, etc.

You missed Harry. Can't have James & Lily without a Harry

I know a Jimothy. Always assumed his parents had got a bit jumbled up when they went to Register the birth.

Nooooo!!!!
Although to be honest with all the MNers who want a yoonique name I shouldn't be surprised 🙄

Jimbeau perhaps?

That reminds me of The cartoon Jimbo the Jetset from the 80's. 🤣🤣🤣

TearsofDracula · 30/04/2024 08:12

Noooo don't do it!!

Need to stick an a or ella at the end to properly feminise the name.

Do you feel a name change coming in Joe? Jimberly Lycett has such a lovely ring to it. 🫢

Is this real 😂 when was this username made?

I must confess this is not my name and was made for effect last night.

Nor would I name my child this 😂

'It's true although he was born long before the internet so I don't think we can blame MN for that corker! Grin

I knew a Benjeevan (the van part is pronounced like ‘one’ but with a v at the beginning). The father wanted Benyameen, the mother wanted Jeevan, so they went with Benjeevan.

Not quite as bad but I went to school with a boy called Davin - his mother wanted David and his father wanted Gavin and Davin is what they compromised on. Seems like a perfectly acceptable name now in the grand scheme of things.

Jemma, Jacinda, Jemima, Jamelia are all females versions of James

@MikeRafone , Jemma, Jacinda, Jemima, Jamelia are all females versions of James None of those are female versions of James.
Jemima is a biblical name not associated with James.
Jemma is a short form of Jemima
Jacinda is from hyacinth
Jamelia is probably from Jamil, which is Arabic
James is from Jacob

Whenever I hear of a newborn with an unusual name. I always think do they not imagine little Bambi as an adult in a professional job?

Nanny0gg · 30/04/2024 16:43

Well, whether you like it or not, if you use it, there will be lots of conversations about it in the staff room

And the child will spend her life spelling it out

Have we had Jimodium yet? Hope I've not bought this thread to a halt

Is that an anti diahorrea medicine?

The poor, poor sod!

cremebrulait · 30/04/2024 17:55

I thought you were going to mock someone who accidentally typed there own name as Jimberly given the close proximity of j and k.

This is a horrible idea.

pebbles8811 · 30/04/2024 17:59

@Netruscan my daughters middle name is Jaymes names after my grandpa who was James but called Jim also Ryan Reynolds daughter is called James 🤷🏻‍♀️ just a suggestion you could call her James instead of jimberly

Missingpop · 30/04/2024 18:06

No! No! No! You can’t call a kid fucking Jimberly it’s taken half an hour to write this cause I was laughing so much😂😂😂😂😂 it’d be ok if you were 6 & naming a rabbit but a child, Christ alive grow up the poor kid will be bullied mercilessly & you know it in your heart of hearts; save the name Jim for the next baby & hope it’s a boy 😂😂😂

Missingpop · 30/04/2024 18:07

neverknowinglyunreasonable · 29/04/2024 11:16

If this is an honest question I feel I must give an honest response. I find the name Jimberly hilarious and cannot stop laughing.

I was roaring laughing it’s got to be a joke 😂😂😂

CountingCrones · 30/04/2024 18:09

I once knew a Ralary because she was named for her parents, Ralph and Mary.

I don’t think she ever forgave them.

I wish little Jimberley a long and happy life. Ideally with a little sister called Danessa or Bennifer.

Missingpop · 30/04/2024 18:10

Don’t be so cruel this poor kid has to grow up go through school & eventually find a job it will get the 💩 ripped out of it with names like that they sound names more suited for a goat😂😂😂
