Elizabeth for girls.

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

Proud of you!

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

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.

[–] whats_all_this_then@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

Jimothy on special occasions

[–] sprite0@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jame Gumb the only one I ever heard of

[–] BitchPeas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Was she a great big fat person?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Is that your king / baron name?

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

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

[–] 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?

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

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

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 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.

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

Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.

[–] ianfraserkrillmaster@midwest.social 31 points 2 days ago (5 children)

i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I like the cut of your…Jimb.

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.

Thank you for not misspelling it as Jamethon.

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

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

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

I'd go with Hi-May...

And spell it just like that.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

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

Jimbo Jorker?

[–] 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...

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days 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!

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

Dunno. Greg sounds more nerdy than James.

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

Greg

Gregtech. - a highly sophisticated automation heavy mod for Minecraft

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

Actually, James is short for Jean Names

[–] ODuffer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago

Jam the man

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 days ago

The formal variant is Jame-o

[–] anomoly_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days 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.
