Mumsnet Jury - you decide our girls name! Pick one of two...

[swizzlesticks]

Jemima (nn Mimi) or Thea. Which one and why?!? Thank you!

Jemima is stunning. Thea just blends in with Leah, Mia etc.

I love the name Jemima. I also would pronounce Mimi as Meemee...

But actually I'd use the nickname Jem.

I love Thea! Sounds like a Greek Goddess.

Jemima sounds like a busy-body character in a novel.

Jemima :)

Jemima

Thea.
Although people might ask if it's short for Anthea...

Thea is a beautiful name, not keen at all on jemima

Jemima. I don't like the 'th' sound in Thea.

Jemima nn.Mimi although I prefer Mima.

I have an irrational dislike of the names Thea and Theo. Remind me of a stuffy librarian or a boring history or scripture class.

I would also get really irritated with people pronouncing it Fea...

Jemima, but with Mimi used all the time.

Sorry - Mimi would be pronounced 'Meemee'.

Ooh - looks like the tide is turning on Thea...!

I love them both - I'd personally use Thea, but Jemima is fab and probably won't date the way I suspect Thea might. I know mainly 25 yo Jemimas who are all very cool so that might be affecting my lack of old lady association!

I'd use Mima as a nn - Myymah not MeeMee - although knowing me she'd wind up going to school thinking her name was Buttons or some such!

Both are gorgeous though.

I prefer Thea. Don't like Mimi at all. And I'd pronounce it Meemee or Meemy

Thea.

Just spent the weekend with a child called Mimi and actually found it quite twee to say. I like Jemima tho.

Jemima. Because I don't let like the name Thea (sorry).

I prefer Jemima by a long way, and I like Mima better than Mimi.

I really don't like the name Thea. It's a name that comes up on MN all the time and lots of people seem to love it, but I've never actually met one. To me it sounds a bit wet and lispy, and is highly likely to be mispronounced as Fear.

I was nearly called Jemima but my dad vetoed it with the case that "it rhymes with vagina"

Thea. It's my favourite at the min.

Thea, a lovely, classy timeless name to grow old with.
Jemma is fussy and cutesy and reminds me of the doll in "playschool" ( for those old enough to remember!)

Thea, dd's nn is Mimi. So love that but not Jemima!

Thea.

Jemima is just a bit too frou-frou and cute-sy for my tastes. Mimi is better I suppose.

But Thea gets my vote.

I like both but the first thing that springs to mind with Jemima is Puddleduck so I'll vote Thea!

Jemima, a really pretty name.
