My name is Jamie, a derivative of James, which is a version of Jacob, which means “supplanter.” So, apparently the biblical Jacob was a hustler who cheated his brother Esau out of his birthright. He did end up serving as a slave for 14 years in order to get the girl he wanted, though. Romantic if you don’t count the fact that he gave in and married her sister after 7 years.
What a namesake! I need to have a talk with my Mom. But it’s all good because I am linking myself up with the Jaimes of the world and declaring myself “lovable,” stemming from very loosely-translated French, of course :)
