Help[Opinions] Well...
in reply to a message by Joan-Ay
It is a French name, and zjuh-ehm is how it would originally be said. In American English it would be Jay-mee. That said...
I MUCH prefer Jaime to Jamie.

Um.
It's a French phrase meaning 'I love/like', yes, and the spelling Jaime instead of Jamie being used on girls was probably influenced by the French phrase, but the name Jaime is not used in France, or (I believe) other Francophone countries. The name Jaime used only in English.

...Err, no. It'd just be one syllable.
For the record, I don't like Jaime on a girl, because it doesn't make logical sense to be pronounced JAY-mee with the way it's spelled. I'd much rather see a Jamie, but I think the name is too painfully 80s to hold any real attraction, no matter its spelling.
