Ok, oh my god, I find this adorable. Maybe too adorable to use, but I don't know. I'd like to know a Jimothy.

I'll have to agree with those who say it's too comical to be taken seriously. Jimothy...LOL

lol

To be honest I think it's kinda silly. If you like the nickname Jim, then I'd just use James as a name instead. People are always gonna get Jimothy wrong - think he's called Timothy. And people might assume if his nickname's Jim that he's called James.

Sounds like a good name for a character.

Jimothi is the name of a minor character in the Abarat books by Clive Barker. You're not the first to have this idea, it looks like :P

I don't really care for it though.

I agree with the rest. It's like someone has trouble with Timothy or Jiminy (Cricket from Pinocchio). I can't see it as a real name.

No, no and again no.

What next - Margizabeth, nn Maggie?

I'm sorry but it sounds like a joke. Jimothy is the sort of name you give a toothless hillbilly in a comic strip

I was just thinking about Tim/Jim the other day. This is why it doesn't work, Timothy isn't "long" for Tim, Tim is short for Timothy. So even thought Jim and Tim sound alike, it doesn't mean that they should both be short for similar names. That's like saying "well, Abby and Addie sound a lot a like... I think I'll name my kid Adigail.".

I realize that you're not considering naming a human this but it's just not nice.

How about Timothy Grey or James Greg?

Not liking it... Sounds a little dorky... Sorry. I love Timothy, but this just doesn't work for me. Then again, I don't consider Grey appealing as a given name either (ok as a surname, but unappealing as a given name).

I call my brother-in-law Jimathy. It's a joke-nn that is supposed to be ridiculous... so if I met someone with the actual name Jimothy I would immediately judge the parents, tbh.

Yep... like something I said once that had my friend in hysterics: "If Charlie is short for Charles, then is Arlie short for... Arles?"

Okay, I know, I'm not that funny. There are enough "names" like this on real people. Recently I've seen (some of them may have been posted here): Jevin, Navid, Javid (g), Tamantha, Kabrina, Taleb, and Shazzmine. And about 20 names that rhyme with Jason.

You should totally use Jimothy in a Sims game or something similar, though. :)

No offense,

But I really think it's awful. :/ It looks really tacky. It'd be like if someone said their kid was named Peremiah, because Jerry is a nickname for Jeremiah, so why not Perry for Peremiah? It just rubs me the wrong way.
