Help[Opinions] Re: Jaime vs. Jaime?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
A friend of mine is a girl named Jaime when she married a Latino guy, his family members saw the wedding announcement and thought it was a gay wedding- Roberto was marrying Jaime, two male Latino names.
My friend Jaime changed the spelling of her name to Jaymee, which doesn't bother her Latino in-laws.
The influx of many Latinos and Spanish speakers is really changing naming in the US. When you realized that in many large US cities, Hispanics account for 25% or more of children in the schools. I like Jamie for girls but I would never spell it Jaime because Jaime is a Hispanic male name- same with Angel. I don't think Latinos are as happy with male names doing a gender bender as other parents are.
