harriet, jemima or Georgina? dd2 arrived

[poocatcherchampion]

dd2 is here and nameless. we can't decide what to call her and are going to get in a mess if we don't decide soon

which out of the above 3? or what else?

please and thank you!

Jemima

Really don't like jemima. Harriet and Georgia are lovely.

Oh just realised it's Georgina... No I don't like the 'Gina' part...

I think Jemima is my favourite of the three - really cute!

They are all fine names. I think I prefer Georgiana to Georgina.

Biased, as I have a Jemima!

She gets called Mima or Jem for short.

I liked the rag-doll in Play Schoool, plus Puddleduck connections when she was small, and the sophisticated Jemima Shore detective/ Jemima Goldsmith Khan for an older model.

There's Aunt Jemima's pancake syrup with a large black woman on the packaging, but otherwise I never came across any negative connotations.

(She was almost a Georgia)

Love Harriet!

Also, I like Georgiana, as a suggestion

The name Jemima doesn't have any bad connotations here in the UK, but sadly it has been very badly tarnished in North America (and some of South America) thanks to the "Aunt Jemima" brand which carries very strong negative racial connotations. As a result, in the States, Jemima is a name forever associated with racism and is therefore never used. This would be enough for me to not choose it for a dd as I would want a name I felt I would be proud to say anywhere in the world and that wouldn't be a problem for her if she decided to study/live in North America one day! I do still really like the name, and feel it's such a shame it has this association as it would have been a strong contender for me otherwise!

Jemima

Georgina

Out of all of them I prefer Georgina, though not really keen on any of them tbh.

Harriet

I prefer Georgia to Georgina , its a little more girlie to me , I have a 6 yr old Georgia so I'm biased :)

They are all good choices, but I prefer Jemima.

I'm another one who prefers Georgia to Georgina.
If that's not an option then Harriet is very nice

Jemima is a biblical/hebrew name meaning dove. It is a family name for us and has been used as a female James, but incorrectly as I found out when looking at names for our dds. I really like it.

I love Harriet too, but strongly dislike Georgina for some reason.

Jemima

Love Harriet.

I too am biased as I have a Jemima, but it's a bloody brilliant name. Do it.
