I have done so many posts on names but we are now at the end and due date is tomorrow. We have it down to these two names we like them both although I prefer Jemima and dp prefers Eliza however we have both agreed that we are happy to have either. Bit of background we have a french sounding surname, and she will have 4 big brothers who have classic/ royal names.

Eliza (or Elise might go well, as you have a French-sounding surname)

ggirl · 30/06/2011 09:07

Jemima
have always loved that name
had a lovely aunt jemima
think it's classier than eliza

Definitely Eliza, was my chosen girl's name but have found out we're having a boy!

birdofthenorth · 30/06/2011 09:58

Eliza

Jemima.

CharlieBoo · 30/06/2011 10:38

Jemima....

sparkle12mar08 · 30/06/2011 12:50

Definately Eliza, especially with 'royal' sibling names and a french csounding surname. Jemima is far from royal, very far.

lizzieloubee1 · 30/06/2011 13:52

Jemima has more nickname possibilities, but they are both lovely. [unhelpful post]

I don't think you can have one as middle name either, too many A sounds.

swash · 30/06/2011 14:22

I love Jemima

IvyAndGold · 30/06/2011 14:36

definitely eliza!

i think this thread is looking very 50/50, sorry OP!

Catsu · 30/06/2011 14:51

Jemima.

Eliza very trendy just now I think, if that bothers you.

Jaquelinehyde · 30/06/2011 20:15

Jemima everytime!

Alphabetsy · 30/06/2011 20:16

Jemima

pointydog · 30/06/2011 20:22

Eliza but prefer Elise or Eloise or Elizabeth.

Don;t like Jemima one bit

olddeuteronomy · 30/06/2011 20:23

Definitely Eliza - Jemima makes me think puddleduck and playschool doll! Eliza also good with royal siblings.

NigeltheFuckwit · 30/06/2011 20:27

Eliza is lovely.

FriskyMare · 30/06/2011 20:29

Definitely Eliza or Elizabeth, Jemima always seems a bit wishy washy to me, but hey ho thats only my opinion. Good Luck!

Not so keen on Jemima.

blueberryjam · 01/07/2011 07:15

Well it's d day today not that she is showing any signs of arrival. Still unsure which name to go with although I think it is looking most likely we will go with Eliza.
