Icanseethesea - I didn't know Jemima was biblical (Job 42 if anyone else is wondering!)

Icanseethesea · 02/09/2008 21:38

Jemima?

My dd is Sarah, my niece Jemima, and ds would have been Naomi.

All the best

tassisssss · 02/09/2008 21:33

You can't be due already!!

I like Rebecca, Rachel, Anna, Hannah, Sarah, Elizabeth, Joanne, Martha, Esther, Miriam, Dorcas, Tabitha and I really like Lois.

Elizabeth is great but would end up Lily, Beth, Lizzy etc etc in our family.

I love the Spanish for of Naomi, Nohemi (pronounced no-hem-ee) but you would really have to be spanish to carry it off I think?

Naomi is ubercool!

And then there's Miriam & Judith and Eva.

All of which are just great.

Not keen on Naomi

The girl's name Naomi \na(o)-mi\ is pronounced nay-OH-mee. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "pleasant". Biblical: an ancestress of Jesus and mother-in-law to Ruth

I love Esther (just need to persuade DH).

Also like Rebecca & Martha

OrmIrian · 02/09/2008 09:51

Lilith is probably not the greatest role model for little girls though. You might argue for her as a pre-Christian feminist icon maybe....

Miaou · 02/09/2008 09:50

Esther

Jezebel

Lilith is lovely!!

MrsFluffleHasAWuffle · 02/09/2008 09:49

Esther is a lovely name cute for a baby yet classy for an older woman
