    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.

    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

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

    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'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.

    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.

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

    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.
