I struggle with what is supposed to be phonetic transcription of European Portuguese. Those sounds are not recognizable to me, a speaker of the language. Why does the website not use the IPA? [click the IPA button -ed]

I find it funny when I see an American woman with this name. I automatically pronounce it Hi-Meh. I don't even see how this could be promised as Jamie anyway.
My cousin is named Jaime and I pronounce it Hi-MEH but they call him Jamie in school. Well they used to call him that because he not in school any more so yeah I think it was weird but I really like the name.
While it's an okay name in Spain, it can prove quite problematic here in the UK. I have a Spanish friend called Jaime (pronounced "HI-may"), and the amount of times his name was pronounced like Jamie is uncountable.
