Comments for the name Jimmy

My ex-father named Jimmy has proved a right disappointment leaving at the beginning of this year so I now have bad thoughts of the name! I used to love the name but now it gives me very bad images.

Jimmy Stewart was an actor who starred in many movies including "It's a Wonderful Life."

Jimmy Robbins is an acoustic musician with a band called Too Sorry for Apologies.

St. Jimmy is the name of a Green Day song off of "American Idiot." It's a kick-ass song and I also have an uncle called Jimmy.

Jimmy Neutron is a show on Nick. Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genuis! Not that I watch it or anything!

To "jimmy" something is to forcibly open it, as if with a short crowbar (which is called a jimmy). (He jimmied the door open, for example.)

What are often just called "sprinkles" and are put on ice cream are also known as "jimmies." Though jimmy is the older term, it is sadly dying out. (I'm a jimmies loyalist, I'll admit.)

When I was young, I remember meeting a girl named Jimmy once. It was very strange and also somewhat funny since she was very girly with pink bows and all. I always thought of questioning her if it was her real name or if it was a nickname but I was always too terrified to ask.

Famous bearer: Jimmy Buffet.

Famous bearer: the amazing Jimmy Page.

Jimmy Olsen is Clark Kent's buddy at the Daily Planet in the Superman comics and movies. His character was also just recently added to the TV show, Smallville.

Jimmy Ingram is the guitar player for the band Spur 58.

Jimmy MacElroy is one of the major characters in "Blades of Glory", played by Jon Heder.

Whenever I hear the name Jimmy, I automatically start singing in my head, "Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care." It's rather annoying.

This sounds like something redneck jerks are called.

In Adventures in Odyessy, one of the characters (the little boy in the Barclay family) is named Jimmy Barclay. He fits the role of the stereotypical "annoying little brother". The writers of Adventures in Odyessy have said that his name came from Jimmy Stewart's.

It is a redneck jerk's name. I've never met a nice Jimmy, and I've met quite a few. Plus I don't like that it's a nickname of James, they're pretty much the same length so it just confuses and annoys me.

Comedian Jimmy Carr bears this name who is very popular in the Uk and known for his appearances on many game shows (8 out of 10 Cats, Would I lie to you?, QI and Have I Got News for You).

James (Jimmy) Bartel is a professional Australian Rules footballer. He plays for the Geelong Football Club and in 2007 won both the Brownlow (highest individual honour for an Aussie Rules player) and the Grand Final.

I love the name James, but I would never, ever call my child Jimmy. Simply because it ruins the regal sound of James.

James "Jimmy" Sullivan is the drummer for the band Avenged Sevenfold.

Jimmy Cooper is the troubled teen protagonist of The Who's 1973 rock opera Quadrophenia, which was later turned into a movie. It's my favorite album of all time, so I'm kind of partial to the nickname.

I think Jimmy is sweet name. It reminds me of how in Britain sprinkles are called jimmies. Sweet!

My favorite nickname for James! (And the only one I like) It's so cute and fits all ages, but ONLY as a nickname! I come rely disagree with the people who think its a redneck name... I don't get where you came up with that! But anyways, it's strange to me how people actually name their children nicknames as full names, what if they actually want to be someone important in society? If you want to call your son jimmy, I'd say name him James and call him jimmy. It's adorable :) also, I know someone who uses this as a nickname for Jaime, the Spanish equivalent of James.
