Help[Opinions] Re: Jaime vs. Jaime?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
I can't go for the Jaime spelling on either sex, because to me, Jaime is HY-may, the Spanish form of James. I despise either Jamie or Jaime on a girl. Jamie on a boy I find wimpy, but I'd accept it only as a nickname for James and only spelled Jamie. Unless it's intended to be the Spanish form of James, and then it should be pronounced HY-may.
My nephew's name is Jaime, that's his full name, and it's pronounced JAY-mee, just like Jamie. His name has always bothered me.

Diego/ Iago are the Spanish forms of James, and also Jacobo can mean James too. Jaime is a more modern version that if I recall correctly is actually Iberian.
Anyway, I agree. Jaime just seems incorrect as "JAY-mee"... but as I said, I see it used as often as Jamie. i don't get it.
