Jimmy

Just a funny sounding name, belongs to kind, funny people.

Jimmy is the best name and if you disagree I will fight you.

I prefer Jimin.

Just no. Jimmy is referred to as a condom.

Jimmy is the name of my crush and he is the cutest ever so any hate you give is worthless.

How do you get Jimmy out of James? Like I just don’t really get it. Also I associate the name Jimmy with jerks. Even my own father who went by Jimmy was a complete jerk. I don’t like Jimmy Kimmel either. However, I do like MrBeast.

MY name is Jimmy. As others have commented, it's amazing how many people have the testicular tenacity to insist that our "actual" name is James. On numerous public occasions I've registered my name as Jimmy only to have my name "corrected" and listed as James. My birth certificate lists my name as Jimmy, not James.
My father's name was Jimmy making me his Jr.. With all this said, I do realize that the name Jimmy, in the English form, is historically a derivative of the name James. I'm also aware that the name Jimmy is translated differently in various languages around the world. Perhaps my favorite translation is the name Jacob. Ultimately, however; and regardless of derivation, please respect and without argument believe us when we say our legal name is Jimmy. Additionally, please resist the urge to call us James. After all, no one shall know one's name better than the one who bares the name.

My name is Jimmy but that is my real name not James. I really hate how people judge me because of my name. I love the name otherwise.

This name may be on the wane and a slight bit light, but it's not redneck nor jerk- related. Two of the hardest working people I've ever known are named James and Jimmy, and one is my uncle.

I'm mixed about this name, don't like the meaning of jimmying doors to burglarize something, but I always felt neutral, I guess, thinking of a likable Jimmy Stewart goofus. I've known only one and he was tall and good looking and had 3 jobs and I dated him briefly. Heard he died in his 30s, I don't know why. I don't think of it as a red neck or hillbilly name... maybe more gangster if I had to associate it with a group. LOVE the names James and Jamie, hate the Spanish pronunciation of them, ughs!

It's a silly stupid name and I can't help associating it with that idiot Jimmy Carter and - yeah - corny so-called comedian Jimmy Kimmel. I'm not surprised both of those jerks carry this name.

I don't like this name at all, it sounds silly to me.

My son's name is James, but we have always called him Jimmy. We are Irish American and every generation has at least one "Jimmy" My son likes his nickname, and still uses it rather than James. I always thought that he would switch to James as an adult, but he didn't. Neither did my brother, or my uncle, or my uncle's dad...

For me it is a very childish nickname; there are a lot of better names. I can say that I never loved the name James and all his nicknames. Jacob is so much better.

OK, this name isn't the WORST name in the world, I just think that it should be used as a nickname. People called me this until I was 5. And while I said it isn't the worst name, I still don't like it. It is too informal, and too common.

This was my nickname and I don't like it, too childish.

My favorite nickname for James. It's better than going by just plain old Jim or Jamie.

I think Jimmy is a cool nickname for James.

Really quite unusable in the UK in light of the Jimmy Savile scandal.

Disgusting man. Makes me sick.

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 really disagree with the people who think it's 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.

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

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

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.

This sounds like something redneck jerks are called.

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.

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.

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.
