What should I rename my boyfriend?

Question

His name is currently Jim. I think it's a tad boring so I'd like to change it to something that suits him better. I've only had him a couple weeks and the trainer said I can rename him if I do it within the first month.

He is very frisky and mischievous. He loves to play chase and watch football and cycling. He has brown eyes and brown hair. Sometimes he has gas, but it's not too bad. He is fairly stubborn, but if you wave something round energetically, you can get him out of it. He is cranky in the morning but good natured and playful the rest of the day.

Previous owner called him Jimmy, but I'm not too fond of that either.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

I personally like to call Jims "Jimbo."  They don't all like it, but most do, and I like the playful way it rolls off the tongue.  You can also go with initials -- unless he happens to be a JC (which is vaguely sacrilegious) or a JT (which Justin has ruined for all of us).  If he's a JW, you can all him J-Dubs.

Jamie is also an option, but he might feel like you're patronizing him (though it's better than Jimmy).  You could go with Jameson as well -- extra cute points if he happens to be an Irish breed.  Or of course, you could call him James, which is sort of sleek and sophisticated and might be humorously ironic, considering what a little rascal he is.

Good luck!
