Jaimie

Jaimie: 172 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 9 births in 1978.
Jaimie is a modern spelling variant of Jamie, itself the Scottish diminutive of James, which derives from the Hebrew Ya'aqov, meaning "supplanter." Best known as the name of Jaimie Alexander, the American actress who played Lady Sif in the Thor films, it also belongs to Scottish folk singer Jaimie Harding. While the traditional spelling Jamie is deeply rooted in Scotland—think of the classic song "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond" with its "my Jamie"—the "Jaimie" form offers a fresh twist without straying far from its origins. In Scotland, the name is used for both boys and girls, reflecting a long-standing cultural flexibility that makes it a versatile choice for modern parents.
