HelpJamie
What do you think of Jamie for a girl? Do you think it's dated? It seems to have been quite common in the 70s yet I never met one. Have you? How many and how old were they? Boys or girls?
Jamie-Lynn seems to be a rather common combo just as Jamie-Lee (I've heard of 2 Jamie-Lynns and one Jamie-Lee). Ever met one with a Jamie- combo name?
Do you think it's too nicknamey? Still usable today?

I LOVE Jamie on a boy but hate it on a girl!

It's okay for a girl. It sounds really dated, but I like the sort of dated feel it has.
I've known a lot of Jamies and Jaimes. Mostly girls, but a few boys. Currently I only know two Jaimes (one in her mid 30s, one in her mid 20s) and one male Jamie (in his mid 20s).
I've never met a Jamie-combo name. It sounds kind of tacky/trashy.
I think on a girl it's just fine because it works as a feminine form of James. On a boy though I'd prefer it as a nickname, and it's my favorite nn for James. I'd use it, but my DH doesn't like it much. I think on a boy today it would feel much more usable than on a girl.

I actually like Jaime for a male or female. I think it ages well, too.
I had two in my class, so that would be born in the 80's. One boy, one girl. The girl's middle name is Rose.
I know two other Jaime's that are three to five years older, again one male one female. No Jaime Lynns or Lees, though.
All friendly and funny, personable.

I really dislike Jamie for a girl. I could never see the appeal of it and I never understood why it was popular or what people were thinking when they bestowed this name on a girl. My daughter had a friend named Jamie back when she was a child. That Jamie would be about 27 now.
I do think it's too nicknamey, bu it's certainly usable.

I love it on a boy, preferably as a nickname for Jameson or James, but it`s alright on its own. I think it`s too masculine for girls.
I know Jamie-Lynn Spears was named for her parents, Jamie and Lynn. Jamie Lee Curtis was suppoesedly named because it was a unisex combo. Rumours have circulated that she was born a hermaphrodite.
I think people on BTN overestimate datedness, it`ll be fine.
I have personally known one male Jamie and I believe one female.
