Boy name opinions please

We're thinking about Jamison John 'Kemptner." We'll call him Jamie or JJ.

Do you like the name?
Is it silly to name your child Jamison, if his father's name is not James?

Note to my internet stalkers - Kemptner is not really our last name. It's just structured similarly

I don't think it's silly to name him that even though his father isn't a James...JMHO

Jamison makes me think of Whiskey.

Jamie and JJ are NMS.

So in short: Me no likey.

I know Jamison is trendy right now but I never saw the appeal to name your son after liquor and one of the most famous porn stars ever. It is a nice name but I think the sex and alcohol association negates it.

That being said, I don't think your DH has to be named James to use it. And I like the whole name together as well as JJ.

1. I like the name Jamison, but I'm not really a fan of Jamie or JJ (that's just my opinion, obviously--I tend to be a bit more traditional).

2. No, I don't think it's silly to name your son Jamison if dad's name isn't James. Honestly, I would have never made that connection.

Thanks.

Just an FYI - the liquor is Jameson - with an 'e.'

This, FWIW.

My name is Jamie and DH really wanted Jamison (after me). Personally I would just name him Jamie if that's what you want to name him.

I never thought of those 2 facts until Jingles brought them up- I like the personally but those 2 things may misdirect some people on the name (ps- I never knew it was a liquor- where have I been?)

I know, but that doesn't NOT make me think of the liquor just b/c it is spelled differently.

I don't think the father's name much matters - we've really gotten away from that tradition when it comes to names ending in -son. But, I don't really care for the name. For me it is just too wrapped up in the whiskey brand, even if it is spelled differently.

Still sounds like Jameson the whiskey, AND that the brand is so well known just means people will misspell your son's name frequently.

My first thought was of porn star...I think I'd skip it!

What a prude! I like alcohol and sex and I thought of neither of these associations, probably because I've met people with both first and last names of Jamison. Now that you mention it though, I think it makes the name that much cooler.

People who worry about such things could find a negative connotation with any name.

I think Jamison John is cool. I like that he has options as he gets older to choose whether he wants to go by Jamie, JJ, Jamison, whatever.

Boizmom · November 2009

I like the name Jamison. I don't think it's silly to name your son Jamison despite the fact that his father isn't James.

I don't care for the nn JJ though...but then again I just don't like nn in general. We aim for names that cannot be shortened.

I personally don't like the name.

I don't know why Jingles opinion makes her a prude...the OP asked for an opinion and she said what she thought of the name...

What a strange thing to say.

People who would call "prude" because someone associates the name Jamison with the famous porn star come off as having some issues that they're a little overly defensive about...

FWIW, I like the name.
