I have always liked the name Jamie. Not sure though if I prefer it for a boy or a girl though. It also sounds young to me so I wonder how it would fit an adult.

I love the name on a boy, but hate it for a girl. Weird, since I've never actually known any male Jamies, but have had several female acquaintances with that name.

I love the name Jamie for either boy or girl, it is one of those true unisex names that works for either boy or girl.

I honestly think this spelling of Jamie should have always been masculine. The spellings Jaimie, Jaymie and Jaymee are all for girls and I think Jamie should be just for boys!

In America, the feminine form is very popular. I know of at least three female Jamies and zero male Jamies. There were a lot more male Jamies a hundred years ago.

So cute. I like it better as a boys' name, though, and I don't like all the variant spellings.

Jamie Fraser (James Alexander Malcom MacKenzie Fraser) is one of the main characters in Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series of books. Anyone reading these would forget all about the nickname Jamie being girly or for little boys only.

My own name. I'm quite grateful for being called Jamie because it's nice and simple and you can't really make fun of it.

This is an okay name for young, attractive guys, but try to imagine this name on some middle-aged, hairy guy who has really let himself go and gained a lot of weight. Not so hot anymore, is it? Heck, try to picture this name on attractive middle-aged guys, and it still sounds too youthful! Keep is as a nckname.

I really, really think that this name should be preserved as a nickname, and namely to guys named James. Jamie sounds okay on some tomboyish girl, but it begins to sound really youthful on a girl past the age of 16. It's not oozing with masculinity, but it is a boyish name, and I don't like it on females at all.

My name is Jamye and I think it's a very beautiful and unique name. Also, I've never met someone with their name spelt Jamye.

Famous bearer: Korean actress Jamie-Lynn Chung, 10. April 1983, San Francisco, California.

The band Weezer has a catchy song called "Jamie" about a female with this name.

It's really good for a boy.

I like this for both genders, but only as a nickname for boys. It's too youthful to be a full name.

Jamie looks too cutesy as a full name on a boy. This will always be a feminine name to me because of Jamie Lynn Spears and Jamie Lee Curtis, among others.

17th most popular BOY name in Scotland last year. I absolutely detest this on girls.

My cousin from Melbourne pronounces Jamie like JIE-mee.

To me Jamie is a nickname for James on Jamison. I HATE it on a girl.

I for sure prefer Jamie for a boy as it is from the boy's name James and that is NOT girls name!

I have a friend called Jamie [Girl] but you spell it Jaimee, which I think gives it a touch of feminine!

I like this name, though I've always thought of it as more of a boy's name than a girl's.

Also can be spelt "Jaimee" or "Jaime" or "Jaymee" or "Jamee" or "Jaymie".

Van Halen had a hit song in 1979 called "Jamie's Cryin'" in which the heroine is sad about turning down a one night stand.

This is my name. I've never really minded it in the past, but recently there's been way more people than normal who are expecting a boy when they meet me (or, as happened today, when marking my work anonymously) which is pretty irritating, to say the least. Also as of this year, for some reason a ton of people when they first meet me have taken to asking me if it's short for something (for example, Jemima). I've also been told in the past that it's a cute name 'like a baby'. Sooo yeah, in summary this name, in my experience at least, has the reputation for being boyish yet cutesy and often comes with the assumption that it's a diminutive of something else. Not really a name I would suggest any parent name their child if it's a girl just from the reaction it gets, to be honest. But I do live in the British Isles, so I think the boy/girl expectations of Jamie in countries like the USA might be different.

I think this is a cute nickname for James when the kid is very young, because I can't picture a 50 year old man being called Jamie. It honestly sounds ridiculous to me.

On a girl, this name is cute I suppose. But nowhere near beautiful, classic, and elegant, if you get what I mean.

Same as Charlie, I don't like this as a formal name. It's very nice and cute, but just name your child "James" and call him "Jamie." And as a formal name, it's not any better on girl. However, with the name "Jamesina", Jamie becomes a lovely nickname for a girl.

I have looked on the popularity charts, and Jamie still seems to be pretty well used for boys in the UK. Be aware that in the US, though, it is almost entirely feminine.

A wonderful name for a boy! I absolutely hate the name when applied to a girl.

I know numerous female Jamies and have met several male Jamies. I think this is one of the very few truly unisex names. I think it's lovely! I don't like when people use it as a nickname though, I like it as a full given name. Once again, LOVELY.

Being from Scotland every Jamie I've met is male, I even have a cousin with the name. A lot of the time it's used as a nickname for James, so on a girl it doesn't fit to me.

I think it is a really cute and pretty.I do like it more for a girl, i think it is a very lovely name.
