Meaning and background
The story behind Timmie
Timmie has an exact-spelling entertainment namesake in Timmie Rogers. The Apollo Theater includes him in its historical roster of comedians, and the Smithsonian preserves a photographic file bearing his name within the Frank Schiffman Apollo Theatre Collection. These sources place the spelling in a documented performance history. That provides a possible namesake connection for the choice, while neither source establishes the older name from which Timmie may have developed.
