Jacob and Jamima- too cutsie or adorable?

[ProudMamma]

My son is three and number two is fast approaching, we don't know the sex but if its a girl I am leaning towards Jamima, do you think this is too twee?
We like Isaac for a boy too but we're not religious and wonder is this is too Biblical?
.....what do you think?

I think I would probably spell it Jemima.

Bit too cute for me I'm afraid. I would also spell it Jemima.

Jacob is also biblical.
And yes, spell it Jemima

OK, as long as it's Jemima.

Another vote for Jemima rather than Jamima. It goes well with Jacob, though I am a fan of cute names :)

Isaac is lovely for a boy, too.

Good luck!

Jemima is my number one name for mine of it's a girl well either that or Matilda.

I know a family with a Jacob and an Isaac, love Jacob but then again I have one.

Not a big fan of Jemima (again spell it like that or it will drive you mad correcting it). I'm also not a fan of sibling names starting with the same initial. I prefer Jennifer or Joanna as well.

Sorry that doesn't help.

Jacob is not a cutsie or adorable name at all.

If you use Jemima spell it with an e, like everyone else said. It's a nice name.

Thank you for correcting my spelling!! Am at work so typing super fast!
I know Jacob isn't a cute name- I just wondered what people felt about the alliteration of siblings!! I think I'm definitely leaning towards Jemima.
If its a boy we're less sure of names- maybe Alex - suggested by Big Brother (along with less favorable suggestions like Pasta!

Jacob was the son of Isaac and the father of the 12 tribes of Israel - don't think you can get more Torah/Old Testament than that!

But I think I prefer your son's suggestion of Alex over Isaac - Alex is a great name.

Jemima is lovely for a girl.

I like Jemima and think it is fine with Jacob. With Isaac it is a very biblical connection, might avoid, as together they do prompt thoughts of the story.

I know a family with a Jacob and an Isaac too. Both lovely.
Not keen on Jemima, reminds me of a doll off playschool ( for those old enough to remember!)

I like Isaac, and Alex if short for Alexander. Or how about Daniel, Zachary, Elliot or Luke?

I don't really like Jemima but if you like it then use it. Jemima is also a Biblical name by the way! How about Sophia, Emily, Katherine/Katie?

Would a lot of people "get" the story though? I had quite a few people ask DSs name then say "oh Twilight"

Now Jacob and Esau would be a bit twee.

To be honest, I do like Pasta

Very cute!

Tuesday you should deffo have a baby called Pasta

Ds1 is called Jacob. I wanted to call ds2 Isaac but dp thought it would be too much.
I also really like Joseph, but again he thought too much. (we aren't religious either)
In the end we settled for Luke, so have 1 old and 1 new testament.

If I were to have a girl, I love the name Gretchen but will want to saty with the biblical theme so will probably be Rachel or Bethany

Neither too cutsie or adorable. I think they're both lovely names and go well together. Definitely Jemima with an E.

Reminds me of the two kids from Chitty, Chitty Bang Bang. They were Jeremy and Jemimah and had awfully naice, RP accents and were puke-tastically twee.

I love Jemima and wanted this dd to be called that but OH vetoed because of playskool rag doll :( I have an Isaac and we are not at all religious and it suits him perfectly!! Jacob is lovely as are other "biblical" names like Noah and Saul. Alliteration is ok I think as long as it doesnt continue with every child lol but each to their own!!! good luck with No 2 x

Please smell it Jemima. I think they are a fine combination.
