You know, I can't wholeheartedly endorse the use of Jamie on a boy, although there's nothing about its sound that I find objectionable. This is because, although I hate it on a girl, I still find something too feminine about it. Maybe not really feminine, but it doesn't seem masculine enough to me. I guess my perception might be colored by the experience of my husband, whose childhood nickname was Jamie. He changed it to Jim during middle school, because he was being teased about being called Jamie.

So I would at least want to see it as a nickname for James, which would give the boy more options later in life, than on its own.
