Lovely name but yes

No.
It is lovely and I really don't think that association is still very widespread.

No, I love it. DH won't allow it for DC3

I love it & would have used it had my son been a girl.

Love it. This is going to be my DD2's name in the future! X

I am one and it's very rare in my age group. I usually get the whole list when people first hear my name: "Oh, like Puddleduck / Jemima from Playschool/ Aunt Jemima / Jemima Khan" but then they drop it, it's never stuck as a nickname and I've found people rarely forget my name, which makes it worse that I am useless at remembering names.

The thing that does bug me is the number of people who read it or shorten it to Jemma. Grrr.

Not to my taste really (too obviously posh) but nothing wrong with it, and there are worse connotations a name could have!

My mum wanted to call me this but my Dad veteod it. So she called me it as a nickname anyway until fairly recently (34 now!).

Cute name!
