You do realize that if you ever visited Minnesota, people would call you Jammy or some other ridiculous incorrect pronunciation that doesn't even sound conventional.

It's not actually that rare a name.  In fact I find its etymology rather interesting, and in my case, ironic, considering that I'm an atheist and "Christopher" derives from the Greek word(s) for "Christ Bearer", Χριστόφορος, or Khristóphoros I believe, from the constituent parts of "χριστός" (Khristós) for "anointed one" and "φέρειν" (phérein) for "bearer".   



...And that concludes our weekly Greek lesson, ladies and gentlemen.

I do know. Very seldom does a white person get it even after I correct them, and never the first time reading it off of a list or something.

We could just call you Jim.

That's what I would end up doing. I don't correct people anymore, so my own parents think I'm a fake brown.

Hey.. it could be worse.  A know a family where the kids' names just get weirder as you go down the line...

Henry, Huck, Satchell, and Winfruey.  I mean what the hell?  Winfruey?

Neither do I. It's damn tedious.

     Oddly enough, five years ago, few white people that I met (aside from myself, of course) could pronounce my name properly, but today basically everyone can pronounce my name fine.

No. I haven't been called that. Most of the time they pronounce it Gail, Gay-el or they attempt a botched correct pronunciation (that's honourable and good on them) like Gga-ail

I'd think it'd just be "Jaime", like the girl's name (or occasionally guy's, short for "James").

This was used to "great comic effect" in La Catrina, the Spanish-language-learners telenovela we watched in Spanish 3, because the Mexican family the main character, Jaime, was expected to be a guy but when she showed up she was, well, a she

The next year, in Spanish 4, we had "Jaime Talavera" and Sol y Viento, who was a he, despite also being from the States.  And not being very Hispanic-appearing.
