I've never heard of "Jamie" being a nickname for James. It makes sense, and maybe I've just missed it all these years? My best friend in the third grade was named Jamie, he's the only one I've known. I've known several guys named James.

Yep, a simple search confirms that "Jamie" is a diminutive form of James. TIL.

Uncle named James, Mom calls him Jamie. Can confirm.
