Jimmer

A rare diminutive of James, with the on-trend -er ending of Asher, Cooper, and Carter. Notably used in the American comedy Escanaba in da Moonlight, this unexpected nickname might gain more attention thanks to basketball player Jimmer Fredette, who represented the USA in the 2024 Olympics. His given name is James, however, his mother had wanted something more unique, so she nicknamed him Jimmer and it stuck.

Pronounced JIM-er.

As of October 2026, Jimmer ranked #8390 in US births in 2011 SSA.
