Jemima

Sorry for lots of posts. This will be my last one until baby is born, I promise.

This morning I heard the name Jemima. Something about it just struck a cord with me and melted my heart a little. I immediately thought it would sound lovely on a little girl.

It seems to fit quite nicely with sibling names Noah, Jacob and Jemima.

So just throwing it out there to see what your thoughts are on the name? Do you think it is a usable name? And does it go nicely with sibling names?

Thank you.

We have a Jemima and so obviously I love it. She's almost 5 now. All her family and most of our friends call her 'Mima' (pronounced My-mer) as a nickname. We didn't come across any other Jemima's in the first couple of years but have met a couple the last couple of years. So possibly getting slightly more popular in some areas? I think it goes nicely with your other names too. X

It is a lovely name and it goes well with the other names but unfortunately it'll always mean "puddleduck" to me so I wouldn't use it personally.

I really like it.

It goes really well with your boys' names. I don't love it, personally, but it's a pretty name.
