I’m not pregnant just a teen name lover, but it seems like the other boards don’t get as much attention so I hope no one minds that I’m posting here!
I’ve been thinking about how to honor my dad in a combo. His name is [name]Jimmie[/name]. I had thought of [name]James[/name] but neither my mom nor dad like that name & if it’s to honor him it’d be nice if he at least likes the name right?
I love the name [name]Jemima[/name] nn. [name]Jem[/name]/[name]Jemi[/name]/[name]Jemma[/name]! [name]Do[/name] y’all think this could work to honor my dad? Any other suggestions (boys or girls) to honor my dad?
[name]TIA[/name]!
[name]Jemima[/name]: cute.
[name]Jemma[/name]: pretty, like it.
[name]Jem[/name]: love this for a boy!
There’s a long list of variants on [name]James[/name]/related names that might inspire you such as:
[name]Diego[/name], [name]Jamesina[/name], [name]Jameson[/name], [name]Jamie[/name], Jaumet, [name]Jayla[/name], [name]Hamish[/name], [name]Seamus[/name], [name]Tiago[/name], [name]Xanti[/name], [name]Yasha[/name]
Also [name]Jim[/name]/[name]James[/name] comes from the name [name]Jacob[/name] so with those two sharing root & meaning it opens up all the [name]Jacob[/name] names including:
[name]Akiva[/name], [name]Giacomo[/name], [name]Jacoby[/name], [name]Jago[/name], Jaska, [name]Jeb[/name], [name]Yago[/name]
For something more “out there” : [name]Gemini[/name]
Or you could veer away from name as a whole and use little pieces such as the “Ji” or the “Mie” … there’s a French name “Miette” which means small sweet thing, love that.
peanut, Thanks for your reply! [name]Jacoby[/name], [name]Jamie[/name], & [name]Jayla[/name] are the only names from your suggestions that I like, but even then I don’t think I’d ever use them. I know too many Jacobs so I don’t really want any name that sounds like it honors a [name]Jacob[/name] instead of [name]Jimmie[/name]. Miette is really cute but I’m not sure if it’s close enough to [name]Jimmie[/name] to actually honor him. I know, I’m being picky. :roll:
