Jaime 2

Why would they spell Jaime like this? There are not traditionally silent 'e's in English, why would they add one? Why make it confusing?

This is a great spelling of Jaime.

This is my name! Used to have a love-hate relationship with it (Even tried changing it to Jamie! All of my friends and teachers would misspell it so I just went with it) But eventually, I learned to accept it for what it is. There is beauty in all names depending on how you look at them, whether it be a boy's, girl's, or unisex name. I think my full name is very nice phonetically! But yea, moral of the comment is to love your name because there is beauty in every name. :)

My daughter's name is Jaime-Jean (Jean) after my late grandmother and it did cross my mind that she would be teased in school as Jaime could be a boy or girl's name and then I added Jean to it which can be a boy's name, just pronounced differently. Therefore at school she's just known as Jaime, not her full name.

I love the name, I like unisex names for girls though, always have. Jaime, Stevie, Leigh, etc are all good with me.

Actually, the true usage of Jaime is as a Spanish masculine name, pronounced HI-may. The people who use it as a feminine variant of Jamie are completely ignoring another culture's naming customs.

I know a girl called Jaimee
I think it looks more feminine.

This is an ugly spelling of Jamie. Jaime looks like it should be pronounced JAYM, and it's a Spanish boys' name. The worst part is giving it in reference to the French j'aime. That makes the name sound extremely tacky and trashy.

When I first saw this name I thought it was pronounced Jaym, I also thought the person with this name was male. I was appalled to find out a girl was named this and surprised about the pronunciation. This name, however pronounced, is EXTREMELY masculine in my opinion, and should never be used on a girl.

It's bad enough to actually name a boy Jamie instead of James. Naming a girl Jaime is a terrible thing to do. It sounds like a nickname for James, and with this spelling, the logical thing for an English-speaker to do would be to pronounce it "JAYM". And heck, that would actually sound more mature. On the other hand, if people are stupid enough to think Faithe is pronounced "FAY-thee", they'll probably have no issue with this spelling. This name sounds a bit trashy, quite frankly. And, of course, this isn't pronounced ANYTHING like 'J'aime', and the concept of naming your kid something like that is very tacky anyway.

I do actually quite like this. It's definitely preferable to Jamesina if you're looking for a feminine form of James! However, you're then faced with the triple whammy of:

---

1. Sounds like Jamie, a boys' name
2. Looks like Jaime ("hy-may"), a Spanish boys' name
3. Seems to spell out "Jaym" - confusing.

Confusing though it is, I do think the spelling is pretty and I like the little link with "j'aime" - I love you. Maybe I would use this as a middle name if I wanted to name a girl after somebody called James.

I like the name but Jaime Pressley ruined it for me, however. But I still like the name.

Jaime - pronounced like this - is the name of my best guy friend. Because of him, I could never see this as a feminine name.

My name is Jaimeson after my father Jameson. He is called James and I'm called Jaime or JaiJai. When I was little I hated my name because kids used to make fun of me saying it was a boys name. Now I love it.

In my opinion, this name seems like it should be pronounced "jaym" instead of "jay-mee" due to the placement of the letter "i."

My name is Jamie and I love my name but I wish my mother would have spelled it this way - Jaime - I like it better, to me it looks more feminine.

I love the name Jaime. But no one ever spells my name right, they always spell it like Jamie.
