Robert has the same shit.

Do you keep it formal and stay Robert? Do you embrace your inner old guy and go by Bob? What about Rob or Robb? Maybe you're Robbie, Robby, or Bobby. Maybe you're clinically insane and go by Bobert.

I know someone who fits this perfectly. They are currently Robert. They did not appreciate me sending them that. I do appreciate you posting it. Thank you so much.

Are you talking about Boob .... I mean Bob

Never realized Jimmy was a nickname for James.

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

I’m a James! The third to be precise. My gramps went by Jack, and my dad by James, so I had to go by Jimmy. I still own it to this day. Other fun nicknames I’m occasionally called are Jimbo, Jymbo, Jambers, Jimboree, Jimbob, JimJam, Jombers, Jimothy, and Jammy. It’s fun having a nickname as the name I go by! Nowhere on my documents does it say “Jimmy” but that’s what everyone calls me.

Jimmy when you're a kid, Jim when you get older. Probably James at work for people who don't know you but Jim for those who do.. Jimbo when you're drunk. Jamie after your sex change operation.

I actually know a Jimothy. Couldn’t decide between jimmy and timothy for his western name when coming to the US after the end of Vietnam war

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 4 points 23 hours ago

I have a life sized goblin statue in the window of my shop named Jimothy.

You think that shit is hard, consider anyone named "Richard"

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Last night I was talking to my partner about the name “Bart”, like saying “dude imagine fuckin a dude named Bart and you gotta say like ‘oh yeah just like that BART’” and we both cracked up

My partner brought up the full name “Bartholomew” and I said “no fuckin way I’m not going by ‘Mew’” and they cracked up

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Christ, imagine if you had a friend named Bartholomew as well.

Which one of you is Mewtoo?

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 23 hours ago

Barty in the streets, god in the sheets.

Jimothy Christmas

This is why they should just go by their middle name, Tiberius.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Or go by their first two initials? eg. J.D.

Charles as well. Charlie, chuck, or Chaz?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 15 hours ago

Go singular - Charl

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've never heard of "Jamie" being a nickname for James. It makes sense, and maybe I've just missed it all these years? My best friend in the third grade was named Jamie, he's the only one I've known. I've known several guys named James.

Yep, a simple search confirms that "Jamie" is a diminutive form of James. TIL.

Y'all, this works like a class system. James is your magic user, Jim is an all round fighter, Jimmy is your rogue, Jamie your cleric, and Jimbo is your barbarian. Luckily, they can change classes depending on the situation, so it's not set in stone.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Jimjim and jimbobway are also options

Cuz you can't put em all on your gravestone.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 1 points 35 minutes ago

Small enough font? Big enough gravestone?

My personal favorite, James Bolivar DiGriz. The Stainless Steel Rat. That is all.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 15 hours ago

There's a reference I haven't heard in a while. I should go back and re-read those, and read the ones I've missed. Great series. Harry Harrison's other sci-fi is pretty great as well.
