Coming out as lisbian
Proud of you!
Beth can be tricky because it can also be short for Bethany.
Jimothy, of course
I have Jimothy written on my boiler suit.
Timothy Jimothy Oshie
Username checks out
Jimothy sounds like one of those English sounding names that Chinese people like to give themselves. Like Samanfar
Wait wtf, the video I'm referencing is almost old enough to vote? God damn it I'm old.
What a delightful video :D
Samanfar took me a minute. I also approve of Smacker.
Just Jame, the singular
Jimothy on special occasions
Jame Gumb the only one I ever heard of
Was she a great big fat person?
Is that your king / baron name?
My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.
Same with Robert.
Do you remain Robert?
Become boring Bob?
Rob with one b or Robb with two?
If you're feeling whimsical, is it Robby or Robbie?
Don't forget Bobby, Boberino, and the unsung classic Bert.
And if you're transitioning, you should probably avoid picking the name Margot
Funny enough, Margot is part of a family of names that's even bigger than James and Robert.
Margot, Marjorie, Marge, Greta, Rita, Megan, Maggie, Gretchen, Maisie, Molly, Peggy... The uniting feature is that all of these names are considered variants of "Margaret," and this isn't even a comprehensive list.
Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.
Oh wow, that's something! I didn't see most of these coming!
I had a friend with one brother named Bob and another Rob. Neither was named Robert.
i would go with the quaint yet dignified "Jimb"
I like the cut of your…Jimb.
jimb can cause a chuckle in business meetings.

Thank you, Gaylord 🤣
I knew a Jimbo. Best friend for like half a decade. Dude def lived up to his name. Hope he's doing well.
How about Jimbo, but with the "J" pronounced like an "H", as in Spanish.
Only if you also pronounce the i as you would in Spanish, Heembo
I'd go with Hi-May...
And spell it just like that.
William has it better. Will, Willy, Willis, Willie, Buddy, Bud, Bill, Billy, and Liam. Willa, Wilhemenia, Wilma, and Billie for the ladies.
James seems like the least nerdy of the names that have common nicknames. Richard is another one that's not nerdy.

Jimbo Jorker?
I like Jamiroquai.
That's virtual insanity!
Jamie Fookin Lannister
Knew a guy named James Jones. He went by Bob. For reasons.
that's a good reason to go by Jamie. Jamie Jones sounds nice.
"Imagine if I had a name like Jimmy Recard" (Jimmy Recard from Drapht) is looping in my head now...
Dunno. Greg sounds more nerdy than James.
Greg
Gregtech. - a highly sophisticated automation heavy mod for Minecraft
Actually, James is short for Jean Names
In the UK at least, 'Jay' is also commonly used for James. Not a bad choice. In addition, James Bond would like word about 'Nerdy' !
Jam the man
The formal variant is Jame-o
Okay, how about you're Jimmer, you're Jimmy, and you're Jim Bob. So you all get to be some version of Jim and we don't got to be in, fuckin... Cats.
