Thank you, Gaylord ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

I knew a Jimbo. Best friend for like half a decade. Dude def lived up to his name. Hope he's doing well.

[โ€“] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.

Elizabeth for girls.

Elizabeth, Eliza, Beth, Lizbeth, Liz, Lizzie, Lizard, Lisbian, Lisan Al Gaib, the options are endless.

[โ€“] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Beth can be tricky because it can also be short for Bethany.

Proud of you!

[โ€“] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Same with Robert.

Do you remain Robert?

Become boring Bob?

Rob with one b or Robb with two?

If you're feeling whimsical, is it Robby or Robbie?

[โ€“] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Don't forget Bobby, Boberino, and the unsung classic Bert.

[โ€“] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

I had a friend with one brother named Bob and another Rob. Neither was named Robert.

And if you're transitioning, you should probably avoid picking the name Margot

[โ€“] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Funny enough, Margot is part of a family of names that's even bigger than James and Robert.

Margot, Marjorie, Marge, Greta, Rita, Megan, Maggie, Gretchen, Maisie, Molly, Peggy... The uniting feature is that all of these names are considered variants of "Margaret," and this isn't even a comprehensive list.

[โ€“] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

[โ€“] ddplf@szmer.info 1 points 1 day ago

Oh wow, that's something! I didn't see most of these coming!

Jimothy on special occasions

[โ€“] sprite0@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jame Gumb the only one I ever heard of

[โ€“] BitchPeas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Was she a great big fat person?

Is that your king / baron name?

I have Jimothy written on my boiler suit.

Username checks out

[โ€“] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jimothy sounds like one of those English sounding names that Chinese people like to give themselves. Like Samanfar

Wait wtf, the video I'm referencing is almost old enough to vote? God damn it I'm old.

[โ€“] whats_all_this_then@programming.dev 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

What a delightful video :D
Samanfar took me a minute. I also approve of Smacker.

Thank you for not misspelling it as Jamethon.

[โ€“] ianfraserkrillmaster@midwest.social 31 points 1 day ago (5 children)

i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"

[โ€“] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I like the cut of yourโ€ฆJimb.

Jimbo Jorker?

[โ€“] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How about Jimbo, but with the "J" pronounced like an "H", as in Spanish.

[โ€“] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

I'd go with Hi-May...

And spell it just like that.

[โ€“] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Only if you also pronounce the i as you would in Spanish, Heembo

[โ€“] SeaDawg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

"Imagine if I had a name like Jimmy Recard" (Jimmy Recard from Drapht) is looping in my head now...

[โ€“] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dunno. Greg sounds more nerdy than James.

[โ€“] LunaChocken@programming.dev 2 points 23 hours ago

Greg

Gregtech. - a highly sophisticated automation heavy mod for Minecraft

[โ€“] logicbomb@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

James seems like the least nerdy of the names that have common nicknames. Richard is another one that's not nerdy.

That's virtual insanity!

[โ€“] kibiz0r@midwest.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Knew a guy named James Jones. He went by Bob. For reasons.

[โ€“] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

that's a good reason to go by Jamie. Jamie Jones sounds nice.

[โ€“] Meron35@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Actually, James is short for Jean Names

[โ€“] ODuffer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

In the UK at least, 'Jay' is also commonly used for James. Not a bad choice. In addition, James Bond would like word about 'Nerdy' !

[โ€“] Jojowski@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Jam the man

[โ€“] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 day ago

The formal variant is Jame-o

[โ€“] anomoly_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Okay, how about you're Jimmer, you're Jimmy, and you're Jim Bob. So you all get to be some version of Jim and we don't got to be in, fuckin... Cats.

[โ€“] Aetherion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

And what of you got named Jim? I mean can they go back to James? Or are they going to stick with Jimmy and Jimbooo?
