His full name would be James to give him options but we'd call him Jamie.

It used to make me think of Jamie Oliver (who I find annoying), but since my teen recently started watching Stranger Things it makes me think of Jamie Campbell Bower, who can (in my opinion) be as naughty as he likes.

Everyone I know with that name has been extremely good looking.😳 I also know a child version and if he’s anything like his dad, he will be too.
They’ve all been decent blokes.

My late DB was called Jamie (his proper name was James). I always loved the name and called my DS' middle name James after his late uncle.❤️

Boys at school in the 90s

I love it but I know two Jamies and they're both very handsome and lovely men so I probably just have a positive association to the name 😅

Outlander
Fab name

My son-in-law is Jamie and it really suits him. I like it as a name, suits any age range I think!

I have a son called James, he’s always been known as Jamie (and still is) but now he’s decided to introduce himself to new people as James, he’s 38 now, I think it’s a lovely name

The naughty boys from the council estate in the 90s.

James is a great name. Definitely a good child, not the brightest but puts in effort. Becomes a loving father and enjoys windsurfing at EuroParcs in his middle age.

Jamie is a lovely child too and as above, but with a streak of mischief, at least one teacher suggests getting assessed for ADHD, leaves important documents on trains.

Alan Rickman in truly madly deeply was a Jamie

Jamie Oliver.
I'd assume a Jamie is probably relatively young (older men named James tend to go by Jimmy or Jim in my experience).
It can also be a unisex name, especially in North America e.g. Jamie Lee Curtis.

Jamie is a beautiful name. Jamies are fab!
They can also have the name James, Jamie, Jimmy or Jim at different points by family, friends or themselves if they want.
It makes me think of the line 'Rockabye sweet baby James' by James Taylor.

Everybody’s talking about Jamie …

My DGS. He is Jamie not James.
