Jerry, I knew that. I was just being a smart-ass, I guess.
However, in all the years (many) that I lived in the Rio Grande Valley, and taught at University of Texas at Brownsville, where I met hundreds of Hispanic students new to me each school year, I never knew a "Jamie," however pronounced. I knew lots of folks named "Jaime," pronounced "Hymie." Maybe I misspelled the name of the restaurant in my post, but in fact, we always pronounced it with a long "A" sound and a short "i" sound, and a soft "g" for the "J." I swear I remember that the spelling was as I rendered it. Of course, most Anglophiles in Dallas would have pronounced the name as we did, regardless of spelling and regardless of etymology.
Interesting. Thanks for reminding us of the Hispanic heritage in our home town.
BTW, whatever happened to the Cantus who were in our JFK class and others in the sixties? For a time in the seventies, they had one of the better Tex-Mex restaurants in Dallas, in the Forest Lane-Webbs Chapel Road area. I think it is long gone, however. My wife is distantly related to them by marriage of a several times removed niece or cousin or something, but she never really knew that relative. We did eat at the restaurant on several occasions.
