Quite often names which have a meaning suggesting "little" are modified with age.  For example "Jamie" as a child would become "James" or "Jim" as an adult.

Hey - I'm "all growed-up" and my friends and family still call me Jamie.  Although my business associates call me 'Jim' - police officers call me 'James', and I insist that all lawyers call me 'Mr. Davis'.  (If they don't, I'll sue!)

Well there you go Jim.  What did I say ?  One never grows up to one's family.  LOL

Your post subscript would look good on a notice in the Police Station for the criminals to gaze at while they wait JPD.

Does anyone else find it kind of funny, when you lift up others on CU in prayer and bring them before the Lord with their user name? LOL

Give whitehorse traveling mercies, or
Keep your hand on JudgeNot,
Lord, Please don't let Blackeyedpeas ban from the board....lol j/k
Bless Allinall in all things...hehe

Surely God knows who we are refering to, but I sometimes I have to giggle when I say these names in prayer.   Cheesy

Anybody else?

Grace and Peace!
Grin Its also very awkward when they have repeated letters, like AAAAmember...
