We really struggle with names but we have landed on Jemima and as the days go on, we both actually like it.

I just can't decide if its OK or if we have lost our minds?! So tell me sensible people, what do you think of Jemima?

Any names like Jemima we might like?

Love it. Would have calked DD that but DH didn't like it (didn't really work in his language).

Always been one of my favourite names. Go for it!

I like it, it's an attractive name. It does make me think of Jemima Puddleduck, the Beatrix Potter character, which is quite sweet really.

On the negative side I gather it has some racist connotations in the US, so you might want to think about that.

It's not my taste, I'm not keen on the sound for some reason. Similar feeling names imo - Jessamine, Claudia, Tabitha, Annabel, Tamsin, Tara/Tamara, Keziah/Cassia, Talitha, Verity, Felicity, Imogen, Beatrice, Celia/Cecilia, Juliet/Julia, Bryony, Antonia, Lara/Larissa.
