HelpRe: James...for a girl (sort of)
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
Admittedly it's not my cup of tea, but at the same time it doesn't strike me as awful.
These sound good to me-
Mirabelle James
Isadora James / Isadore James
Winifred James
I noticed in a post before you used the name Jamesina. Why not use that? It's a lovely name (somewhere along the line of Thomasina, though of a different feeling.) I think Jamesina would sound good as a mn for all of the female names listed above.

It's true, I had thought of Jamesina, but I'm still not sold on it. I suppose it is because it's so very unusual, and I'm not sure if it would properly honour the original James...wouldn't it come across as something like "We named the baby after you! Well...sort of."?
Although, I do like Jamesina. I do love things that are a little different! I definitely will think on it, never fear!

Aw, I love Jamesina for a girl!
Feminine names that are obviously derived from male names like this one are delightful. It's the same feeling I get (well, almost) when I see a man walking down the street with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. You just know they're for the woman in his life. Even if it's for his mother in the hosptial, it still warms my heart. Men showing their softer, more vulnerable side always makes me melt.
That's how I see names like Jamesina, Georgina, Isadora, etc. (But I'm a hopeless romantic and weird to boot.) How could names like these not be seen as honoring the male name they derived from?

Wonderfully put! I could not have said that better. Why give a girl an obviously masculine name when there is a perfectly good female equivalent to it?

True enough!
