I like it because its biblical as my ds name is also biblical. It also has a quirky British feel to it, which I love (though I'm not from Britain)! BUT I really dislike the name Gemma...which slightly puts me off and really is my only reservation about the name, as I'm afraid it will get shortened to this. If any of you have or know a Jemima, does this happen? Also what kind of reactions do you get to to the name? Oh and I don't mind the puddle duck associations

I love it! Was considering it for our as-yet-unconceived daughter but now I have a colleague with that name it would feel weird!!

@ Jim!!! Does Gemma immediately come to mind when people hear the name? It's weird I LOVE Jemima but HATE Gemma, I see them as too completely different names but I read on an old thread that some people got shortened to Gemma which IMO ruins the name! Sorry to any Gemma's out there it's just I have a really bad association with a person called Gemma!

I love Jemima, and I've only met one in years and years. She would be mid-teens now. I think it more usually gets shortened to Jem by friends, but the ones I've known were more often called Jemima and not Jem.
