while I know it's supposed to be jay-mee my mind wants to read it as one syllable, jaim. for this reason i dont like it

Its cute, and Jay is a cool nickname that can obviously stem from it, but Y spellings bother my eyes for some reason. Can't imagine why. I prefer it to Jaime, despite my usual preference for AI spellings! And I do like that its unisex, unlike Jaime. I think that Jamie looks the most reasonable and aesthetic, but Jayme is the best alternative, as it isn't as popular, and makes more phonetic sense. Jay Who? Jay Me. But I do have to agree that Jayme and Jaime look like Jaimes/Jaymes with no S. That might be confusing for some people.

I’d prefer the Jamie spelling. It’s less confusing and you can still use the nickname Jay, though I think of Jay as a boy’s nickname and Jamie on a boy as a nickname itself for James. So I would say for a girl Jamie, maybe using Jay occasionally as a nickname and for a boy James with the nickname Jay.

You can get the nn Jay without having to spell it like that. This way looks like it's pronounced like James minus the 's'.

Don't like it
