Names like Jemima

I want to stress that I am naming a kitten.
I really hope this doesn't offend fans of this board.

I love the name Jemima! I wish I'd used it on my own DD. I can't use it for a kitten now as we now have family members called Gemma.

What other names can you suggest?

I had a beautiful cat called Jemima, she was a real lady and lived until she was 18.

My other female cats are/were Harriet, Hester and Martha

Audrey is fabulous
Quite like Felicity too
There are lots of names that are good but we can't use due to knowing either humans or animals with those names

What about Fiona? That would sound sophisticated when called at the garden, vets etc,

Jemima was one of Job's daughters. The other 2 were Kezia and Keren, either of which I think would be nice for your kitten.

Nancy is a good one. Strong and sassy.

Nancy! That's a contender. Thank you

How about a name that you really like but thought might be a bit too frilly/'different' for a daughter.
