- When I get the response "We named you after your grandfather" - I feel valued and important, and honored... Yet angry that I feel masculated (yes, today that IS a word) with a grandfather' name.
- The response "We named you after Jamie Lee Curtis" - I feel my parents put in the littlest amount of energy possible in naming me... and feel it is meaningless.
- When my father boasts "your name comes from the song, Jamie's Crying" - I feel like BOTH my parents were FAR too young to have children, but at least they like good music and were with the times.

What's in a Name?
Am I in this battle alone?
I am NOT in love with my name, but I do find it irritating when people spell it incorrectly, especially when it is RIGHT THERE to copy.
I have a love hate relationship with my name, sometimes I feel like it suits me and other times I do not feel like a Jamie at all... But I can tell you something... I am a Jamie, not a Jaimie or a Jaime or a Jayme
.
I am certain it may mean more if I were given a straight response from my parents - when I asked where it came from.
