If you have a Jemima...

[ellesabe]

...what other names were on your list? Or what are your other dc called?

Jemima was the only name we even considered for dd and I can't imagine finding a name that I love quite as much :)

Our criteria are:

• not too popular
• not too difficult to spell/pronounce

All ideas are welcome, for girls or boys! I do have a couple on my list already but would be interested to see what others first reactions are.
Middle name will probably be something standard like Emma or James.

Deste I'm itching to know what your middle name is...don't leave us hanging!

Thanks for all the lovely suggestions.

You couldn't even pay me to tell you, I hate it so much.

Deste- Muriel?

I think Ivy... deste?

Although it's not horrible, I do really love Ivy... but there is that connection with poison.

Can I also add... I had the most wonderful, inspirational and encouraging Grandma, and her name was Dorothy. I'm past it now, but I hope for a little Dorothy to cherish sometime in the future .

My lips are sealed.

I will out myself as having middle name Wendy. I HATE it. Always have. It's embarassing. And because another girl in my class had the same first and surname as me I was always known as MC Wendy. This leads to lots of rhyming teasing. Not sure why Wendy has this effect, but I can confirm I am not bendy, it is true I am often "not very friendly" and certainly "not trendy"...

Like lots of your other options though! I second Dorothea. Jemima and Dorothea: very nice!

I like Annie, Ivy, Skye, Seth and Silas.

Not Tabitha - it's just too obvious with Jemima.
