Ok, I thought I would ask about this here. I always get Jaime/Jamie confused. I thought that one was the male form and the other was the female. Now, I thought it was Jaime=boy, Jamie=girl, but as I was looking this up, I got odd answers. Babyname.com said both were unisex. Wikipedia said for Jaime: "The "j" In this name is often pronounced as an "h" sound. Jaime is a common Hispanic and Portuguese name for James. In eastern Spain, Jacobus became "Jacome" or "Jaime"; in Catalonia, it became "Jaume"."

Then for Jamie it says it was originally only for male, but since the 1950s it has also been used as a female name.

So... was I wrong? That Jaime/Jamie aren't for boy/girl (or girl/boy) but for spainish pronoucation/english pronoucation? What do you guys think? Which would you use for a girl?

On a similar note, a show I watch has a girl named Jaimie and while at first I thought it looked goofy, it's growing on me. It could be worse, it could be Jaymye O.O
