Really stupid and lazy it’s just a male name with “ina” added to it how pathetic. I would feel bad for anyone that had this name it just comes to show that their parents weren’t the brightest crayon in the box.
This should be pronounced as "jaym-SEE-na".

Previously, she was the first Chairperson of the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone, and was a Commissioner in the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone from 1996 to 2016.
Jamesina Anderson (née McKenna) (1885–1977) was a Scottish politician, socialist, and advocate of the rights of working-class people, especially the elderly and children.
I know it’s a forced feminine form of James, but what’s wrong with forced feminine forms of male names? You think Josephine is pretty? Well, so is Jamesina and Jacobine! I love this as a feminine form of James even if James is used as a feminine name at its very modest. You want something original? Well this is an example!
Like most Scottish feminine forms of male names, this name is terrible. It sounds like something a guy named James would name his daughter to show his ego. Jamie and even Jimmie on girls sounds better than this. Oh well... at least it's not Jamesetta.
Cute. And a good way to bear a 'real' and mature sort of name but use the nickname Jamie.

I am very fond of this name obviously. It was considered by my mother for me, as she wanted to honor her uncle, James, but she decided to give me a feminized form of his middle name, Alvin, for my middle name.
