- Comments and insights on the name Jamie: | Edit
This is one of those cutesy boy-name-used-as-a-girl-name nicknames (along with Sam, Jo, etc.) that lazy TV and movie writers use to signify that a character is supposed to be a tomboy.
- Personal experiences with the name Jamie: | Edit
My sister's name is Jamie and she's never liked it. She hates that people always think she's a man (the fact that her middle name is Ross doesn't help).
I'm a female Jamie in my mid-twenties and LOVE my name. I like the tomboy feel for the most part, and in situations where I need to be identified as a woman (e.g. on a resume), I simply include my feminine middle name.
