Jemima

[CotedePablo]

or Jasmine?

Both pretty.

I heard Jemima being mentioned in a poem (there was a little girl with a little girl ...) and actually really like it.

Jasmine is also a name that I find beautiful.

That's not helpful at all!

However I prefer the nickname Jas than Jemmy so on that basis, I'd go for Jasmine.

Puddle duck
Is the first thing that springs to mind.

Prefer Jemima!

I prefer Jemima, although Jasmine is nice. I also like Jasmina.

Jemima, nn Mima is a nice option.

If you search MN for previous ' Jemima' threads you will find some people expressing concerns about the 'Aunt Jemima' brand in the USA. It's a bit of a taboo name over there as it has racist connotations. It would only worry me if I had very strong links with the States though.

Jemima, by a long way.

Jemima!

Both nice, but prefer Jemima with nickname Jem.

Love love love Jemina but not so keen on jasmin

Pretty.

No strong links with the US, so no worries about connotations there. Love Jemima myself, but don't like Jem or Jemma.

I really like it and have taught several.

I've never heard of Aunt Jemima but have never heard anyone suggest that it could be a racist name so I think you're fine over here.

Love both but Jemima has the edge for me.

I'm never sure about Jemima. Part of me really likes it and I considered it for my DD but there was something holding me back. Not quite sure what though so not really very helpful.

I really like Jasmine.

I really like Jemima. Don't like Jasmine at all.

I prefer Jasmine

They're both beautiful and both have a lot of lovely nn's. Jem, Mima, Mimi or Jas, Mina & Minnie? I'd wait until you meet her and see what fits best.
