Jamie - for a girl?

[misdee]

I am not saying my views on this, but has been a name of discussion in our house for several days now.

i'm off to pack up two bedroooms whilst the kids are out, and will check back later.

dont hold back now!

isnt it funny how you assiciate names with people you know.

there are certain name si wont use as it reminds me of people i know.

I dislike it but I am not keen on boy's names used for girls - it sounds very dated to me. I think something more traditional like Arthur or Frederick if you really want to cause gender confusion

My female cousin is called Sidney/Sid

absolutely not, no.

id say no.. it's a boys name.

My husband is a Jamie.

I knew a couple of Jaimes when I was a child.
I like it.
It was a girls names to me for years.

for the evening crowd...

it's ok - i'm not overly keen but i don't dislike it

no don't like it. am not keen on boys names on girls, but mpore than that, it kind of sounds like a nickname, I think its good to have a nice solid name on the certificate. Personally

could jamie be short for something else?

Not keen I'm afraid. It will always require explaining as it is so strongly identified as a boy's name.

I like it.

no dont like it, but you know that already
Sophie me looves that

did anyone see Summer Heights High?Ja'mie King? is a monster!

I like Jaime for a girl, deffo. DS2 would have been Jamie, either way!

I really like it for a girl. i think I would only call a girl jamie....if a boy id think more of james instead.
spelt jamie though

I knew a cute little girl with this name (she won't be so little now though!), but it was spelt Jaymie.

Makes me think of Summer Heights High, but I am sure that will be forgotten soon enough

My 12 yr old cousin is called this and because she is very sophisticated and stunning I think she carries it well.It doesn't seem to jarr with the Sophies and Indias that she hangs out with. At the time there was a lot of 'eh..that's a boy's name' from extended family and they went for 'Jamie' in the end because that's how everyone spelled it.
On other children it can have overtones of aspiring to be American or shellsuit wearers in the shopping centre - that's what occured to my classist and superficial mind anyway, but that's only my opinion and you said don't hold back!

I do like the sound of Jamie, but I would leave it as a boys name. To me that whole 'boys name used for a girl' (e.g. Jamie, Andie, Robin, Aubrey) seems a bit old hat and sounds a little American. I hasten to add that there is nothing wrong with that but things just sound different this side of the Atlantic.

It's my [male] best friends name, but I really like it as a girls name too, spelling Jaime is nicer though.

No.

Jem I like.

On a side note, does anyone like Jamesina. I like Jemima, but it's starting to feel overused.

I immediately thought of this , but maybe everyone else is too young to remember.

I love it, considering it myself for our LO due in april
