Jaime is a common spelling where I grew up, but there are a lot of French and French Canadian families there, and J'aime is "I love" though with French sentence structure, the "you" goes between, so I love you becomes "Je t'aime." But Jaime is common around here for probably that reason.
That's why my parents chose the spelling they did - but we are in Maryland, and the aside from black people, the next biggest minority is Hispanic... So I'm either Jamie or "hi-may".

Oh, and Jaime? I have a very simple, very common name, and I still end up having to spell it for people, because so many other people got creative with THEIR spellings of Karen, to be "different." Heck, I am different just by being myself, no spelling odditioes required!
I know, people have bastardized lots of beautiful old classics - but the first names we have chosen, I think, are ones that haven't been touched! Our top two names of each gender are Kate (Katharine only if she's in trouble or graduating or something "official"), Rachel, Evan and Noah - the girls are set, it'll be either Kate or Rachel, but the boys are subject to change.

Actually, I should be able to find out what gender it is at my next appt. and if not, definitely within the following week or two.
