I do like it. Much better than James actually. The meaning is so obvious that it feels weird if the child isn't named for a James or Jamison isn't a family name.

Reminds me of Jameson's whiskey, but looks like it ought to be said 'jammy son'.
Might work on a two-year-old that's just had a sponge-cake?

It's surname-y, but I think it's fine. As a middle, I love it.

I differ from many namenerds because I like surnames as middle names (since many boomers my mom's age replaced their middles with surnames). Plus, depending on the region you are from, it's sort of a traditional way of naming if it's in your family.

Whiskey in the jar!!! And yes, too surnamey

It’s too surnamey and it makes me think of the whiskey. It’s just not a good name, imho.

I like surnames and I still dislike Jamison. Jamie is bad enough without lengthening it.

Ooh, very classic and handsome. I definitely can see it usable as a first or middle, not JUST a surname.

A fresh alternative to 'James' Although that name is good as well. Or, to honor a James if one didn't want to use that name directly.

My husband works with a Jamison. I like it.

I don't like it. It's pretty surnamey. Not the worst. But kinda like Harrison... as though James and Harry were too ordinary? Too personal, not important-sounding enough? haha. I dunno. It's not my style at all. But it's not a name I eyeroll at either.
