Elizabeth for girls.

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

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

[–] ianfraserkrillmaster@midwest.social 32 points 1 month ago (3 children)

i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I like the cut of your…Jimb.

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How about Jimp? Every friend group needs a Jimp.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 3 points 1 month ago

Like "jump", but with an i.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Bring out the jimp

Is that your king / baron name?

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago

Thank you for not misspelling it as Jamethon.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

I'd go with Hi-May...

And spell it just like that.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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?

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

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

That's virtual insanity!

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Jimbo Jorker?

[–] ODuffer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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' !

[–] Jojowski@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Jam the man

[–] SeaDawg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] anomoly_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 month ago

The formal variant is Jame-o

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Actually, James is short for Jean Names

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago
[–] N1ssen@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 month ago

I'd go with the European Jimmy

[–] dmajorduckie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

This is insane, folks.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Any Australians out there able to comment to tell us if Jim-o is a valid nickname?

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It doesn’t matter if it’s valid or not aussies will turn anything into a nickname

What would a Gregg know about this

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dunno. Greg sounds more nerdy than James.

[–] LunaChocken@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Greg

[–] BingoBongoBang@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you, Gaylord 🤣
