WDYT- girl name honoring both Grandfathers

ToBeMrsC6907 · July 2011

Already thinking ahead to #3- I know, I'm crazy!

For a boy, the name would be James Alan after FIL and my dad, respectively.

WDYT of Jamie Allison for a girl?

Also, do you prefer the spelling Jamie or Jaime?

Edited to add: last name is 2 syllables

That is a really sweet way to honor them. I prefer Jamie.

Jemma/Gemma?

Alanna? Alaina?

I like them, I like the spelling Jamie. I think Jamie is my favourite unisex name, it is beautiful on girls and great for boys.

Very pretty name! I prefer the spelling Jamie. Jaime has always looked weird to me.

Definitely Jamie unless you're ethnically Hispanic. But, I'm not the biggest fan of Jamie on girls.

My name is Jaime. When I was younger I used to hate how my name was spelled differently. But in High School I started to love how my name is spelled. It means "Love" in French.

It's different from the normal spelling, but it's still a correct way to spell it. So personally, I love it spelled Jaime. Seems more feminine to me. But could be because it's my name and I'm used to it!

Good Luck!

P.S. Jaime Allison seems like a good combo to me! (my middle name is Lee).

My little cousin's name is Allison and it's because of our grandfather Alan. So it's a great way to name her after your dad!

I don't care for Jamie, there's something about it that I can't put my finger on. If I had to choose I'd go with Jamie instead of Jaime. Allison is pretty.

Have you ever considered Alana? It may sound weird, but I really like Alana James.

j'aime means "I love/like" in French, aimer being the verb "to love/like". I grew up with Jaime being pronounced "hi-may" and used for males so I don't associate it with females. I'd prefer the spelling Jamie. Jamie Allison is a very pretty name Smile

We did this. Claudia after FIL Claudio and Jaclyn after my dad Jack. I love the tribute. With DS his middle names are family names on my mom and MIL's sides (as Nancy and Maggi didn't lend themselves to boys names, lol).
