There are two spellings: Jiménez and Giménez. For example, Susana Giménez is a very popular TV host in Argentinian television, and her family name starts with a G. Maybe the Mexican are more likely to spell it with a J.
Jiménez
Jiménez. If it’s on Myspace, though, your friend may not have typed the accent.
Jiménez (don´t forget the accent, it’s very important).
Saludos desde la Ciudad de Mexico.
Jiménez, as others note above.
Remember that "H" is always silent in Spanish. Often, it’s kept there for "historical" reasons. If there’s an aspirated "Jjjjja" sound, then you must be looking for a "J" that causes it, and on occasion a "G". NEVER an "H".
As an extra tidbit: "H" in many cases used to be "F" in Spanish.
Hence, you see things like:
Humo/Fumo (smoke/I smoke)
Hernando/Fernando (same name, different age)
Helado/Congelado (ice cream/frozen)
Lastly, to really blow your mind: many times, what is a "J" in Spanish, used to actually be written as an "X".
Ximena/Jimena
Quixote/Quijote
México/Méjico (rarely written the latter way)
The "X" was a softer, more Portuguese-sounding thing…like "shhhh". But that sound is long gone from Castilian.
Jiménez (the J is pronounced like a H)
I think sometimes it can be Giménez as well
