Help[Opinions] I disagree
in reply to a message by Joan-Ay
I mean, Jaime is pronounced that way if you're Hispanic, but English-wise, I think Jaime is the more correct feminine version. I've met way more females named Jaime than Jamie, and only males (nick)named Jamie, and no males named Jaime. Obviously where you live might have an influence on whether you think there would be problems with naming a girl Jaime or not.

My nephew is named Jaime. It's pronounced just like Jamie. I like James, and Jamie as a nickname for James, but not Jamie as a full given name and certainly not spelled that way. I've often wondered what on earth my sister was thinking. Anyway, there is at least one male Jaime out there.
Edited to add: I like Jamie for a boy, and so do others evidently, but I have to add that my husband's nickname was Jamie up until he was about thirteen. He then began being teased for having a girl's name and found it very difficult to live with his name, so much so that he changed it to Jim.

I live in San Marcos, Tx which has a strong Hispanic culture (pretty much all of Texas does). So I guess that explains it.
