Growing up I considered my name to be a) too common and b) misspelled (Jamie is how everyone I knew spelled it, or Jayme). As an adult (well, almost 20 year old) I've met several girls named Jaime. I like my first name a lot now, but I still don't like the popularity. It's not nearly as bad as if I was called Amanda or Katie, though. I've never had anyone tell me that Jaime or Jamie are boy names. Most people pronounce it easily, even if it's often spelled Jamie. On the whole, it's not bad at all. On a little girl, I think Jaime or Jamie would be ok because it's not dated IMO, but it's not like Ava or Madison for this generation. I think I prefer Jamie, only because that is still most common and the spelling Jaime is sometimes pronounced HIE-may, and thought to be Spanish.

So...to get to the point--I like my name, prefer the spelling Jamie, and think your potential daughter could do much worse in the name game.
