Jamison/Jameson?

battlebay-jen · January 2011

So I'm loving the name Jameson but I was thinking I'd change it to Jamison if we have a girl...what do ya'll think? Thanks!

I like Jameson for a boy. I don't like it for a girl because it instantly reminds me of the porn star jenna jameson (even if you spell it jamison). For some reason I don't think of the porn star when I think of the name on a boy.

all i think about when i hear this name is alcohol

For a girl just name her Jamie. I am not a fan of Jamison for a girl.

NMS. It makes me think of alcohol and the porn star.

Changing the spelling doesn't make it a girls name. Save it for your next child, who may be a boy, and find a girls name all her own.

Not a fan... especially for a girl.

Really dislike for a girl. Since it means Son of James...and delicious triple distilled whiskey.

Great, now I want to go back to Ireland.

I obviously don't drink because I had no idea that this was a type of alcohol, haha. I also forgot to mention that this would be a middle name...not a first name but I guess that wouldn't matter because ya'll really don't like it.

This exactly.

Yeah, whiskey. And since it's "Son of James," I'd skip it for a girl, too. Guess you could say that about a lot of girl names that end in "son," though.

I like Jameson for a boy, I know a little boy with this name. Don't like it on a girl because all I can think of is Jenna Jamison (or however she spells it.) I don't like any "son" names on girls, too masculine. (And I'm normally a fan of unisex names.)

IU_baby · January 2011

Jameson = whiskey or a porn star to me.

1medicwife · January 2011

I too dont think of alcohol or the porn chick.

However, I still do not like it on a girl (even for a MN). Sorry.

HannahO28 · January 2011

I HATE this name. It has so many strikes for me. I hate names that end in "son" as a general rule, unless they are actually being named after a family member. Jenna Jameson is one of the best known porn stars out there and I always think of her right away. Jameson whiskey is also not a great association for a child's name.

All that being said...I'm glad you're considering for a MN instead of a FN. No one ever uses their middle name anyway, so I think that'd be fine.

I actually really LIKE this name for a girl.

I can see it becoming a bit pretentious though, I have heard of a few "socialite" type families in the NYC area naming their little girls this.

fuzzylamb · January 2011

Ditto on the "Alcohol & Pornstar" associations. Don't do it.

imleeann · January 2011

i love this name its on the top of my name list but for a boy and i have it spelled Jamison.

braveangel2 · January 2011

Jamison is actually the correct/original spelling for the name 'son of James'. Jameson is the American phonetic spelling because we seem to automatically think that James' son is Jameson.

That said, both are obviously masculine, and on a girl, all I see is Jenna Jameson.

The feminine version is Jamesina.

Lol...

LoveMyGirlz · January 2011

I'm in the minority here apparently but I like it. My husband's MN is James, and if this baby is a girl, I'm considering Jamison for a middle name to honor him, since we wouldn't have any boys then.

I have a friend who named her girl Jamison (not sure how she spells it) but she calls her Jayma.

LyndseylovesHugh · January 2011

My brother-in-law's name is Jamison, so that is still how you spell it for a boy. Changing the spelling of a boys name does not make it a girls name, especially when that spelling is still how boys spell it.

Just like Madden and Manning had nothing to do with football, right?

Here's a hint:

Next time before you post a name on this board, try Googling it first.

Oh, and another hint:

Misspelling a boy name doesn't make it feminine. It just makes it a misspelled boy name on a girl. You got lucky with Jamison (see BraveAngel's post), but try to keep that in mind for future posts.
