Lamb
Jamie is often associated with a lamb mainly due to his Jewish beliefs. According to the Bible, lambs represents Christ as both suffering and triumphant. This is shown with Jamie suffering from both cystic fibrosis and mental health issues but is later triumphant when he finally reached his goals. Lambs also symbolise gentleness, innocence and purity. When depicted with a lion, it can mean a state of paradise. In addition, the lamb symbolises sweetness, forgiveness and meekness. Jamie has a rather sweet personality and is shown with kindness. He is also meek especially when his brothers bully him.

Name Meaning
Jamie originally means “may God protect”. Besides, Jamie means “holder of the heel” (from Hebrew “'akév/עָקֵב” = heel) or “supplanter” (from Hebrew “'akáv/עָקַב” = to follow/to supplant), because Jacob was born grasping the heel of his first born twin brother Esau and he bought his birthright to supplant him. Jamie is also a unisex name due to the use of unisex names, especially the protagonists in Life Is Strange and Jamie's gender being genderfluid. His name is also associated with his Jewish roots.

Elijah, also spelled Elias or Elia, Hebrew Eliyyahu, (flourished 9th century bce), Hebrew prophet who ranks with Moses in saving the religion of Yahweh from being corrupted by the nature worship of Baal. Elijah's name means “Yahweh is my God” and is spelled Elias in some versions of the Bible. This name also shows more of Jamie's Jewish roots.
