    I had a coworker that liked to call me Terrance for a while. It didn't bother me, but after a few days, I started calling him Davey. That must have hit a nerve because Dave stopped calling me Terrance the next day.:happy102:

    Actually it's the other way around. James is derived from the Hebrew name Jacob.
    So is Diego believe it or not.

    That explains why they called me Diego in 7th grade Spanish class.

    I was "James" to the nuns in grade school. Jim, and Jimmy to everyone else...except when my older brother-in-law was present. He was also a "Jim". So, I became "Little Jim" in that situation..

    sol92258 I have no earthly idea

    Another James/goes by Jim here

    I was fun in college, a small group of us Jim's would frequently pass by each other in various places, so everyone around got to relish in the seemingly unending series of "Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim" as we greeted each other in passing.
    Not sure what you'd call a group of 4 Jim's, I think we would have had to have 12 or more to qualify as a Jimboree

    Also it's fun watching my wife react at "official" moments, such as last week going through the airport (my first time ever flying, went mostly well), as my official name is James, so I had to remember to say that, she just finds it weird though haha
