Jim-phobia, fear of the nickname Jim - General Name Discussion

i love the name james. adore it. it sounds soft but still strong, smart but still warm, loving and confident and strong willed and all those wonderful things you want in a name. it’s classic but strangely the insane popularity here doesn’t bother me. i just love the nicknames jamie and jem or even jack. perfect. i’d have a sweet little boy named james tomorrow if i weren’t twenty and in college and completely unprepared for non theoretical children.

there’s just one problem: jim.

i imagine having a sweet little james and watching him grow up and make friends and come into his own and become a whole person and then one day hearing someone call him jim… i don’t know if i’d survive. i haaate the nickname jim. it conjures the exact opposite image that james does for me. and i knowww jim is one of the most common classic nicknames for james so there is absolutely no way to avoid it popping up at some point in the life of a little james… but damn, if i could.

anyone else have any names like this, that just die by the hands of a terrible nickname? anyone have a little james or know a james that somehow avoids the dark cloud of jim following them through life? anyone think jim is completely unavoidable and that i should just break up with james and find some way to move on?
