That's funny because I've never seen the spelling "Jamey" and it looks completely bizarre to me, like why would anyone spell it that way? The only variant I've ever seen is "Jaime," which always reads as "HIGH-may" to me.
Anyway, my mom loves the name Jamie, but I do think they would have named me James, which is also my grandfather's name. And, now that I think about it, there definitely would have been one upside to being named James/Jamie, and that's that I probably never would have gotten in a relationship with one of my exes named Jim, who was really terrible for me, and, though we were only together for a few months, left quite a few scars that I still feel from time to time, nearly a decade later.
Then again, my first serious boyfriend was also named Sean, but I don't think that counts since he went by his middle name and I didn't find out that we shared a first name until we were already living together.
