I'd rather not give my surname but I think the names work equally well.

Eloise!

Much prettier, very unusual and elegant, beautiful sounding - overall a lovely name.

Eloise

Meadows76 · 04/10/2016 00:04

Jemima is a hideous name

chinlo · 04/10/2016 00:08

Eloise! I really strongly dislike Jemima.

AmeliaJack · 04/10/2016 00:09

Eloise although Jemima is nice too.

DramaAlpaca · 04/10/2016 00:09

Another vote for Eloise.

Eloise

Eloise

ScarletSienna · 04/10/2016 00:13

Eloise. I like Jemima though too.

QueenLizIII · 04/10/2016 00:14

Eloise. Pretty and feminine.

Dont like the sound of the word Mime that appears in Jemima and also the puddleduck thing.

Pepsioften100 · 04/10/2016 02:32

Eloise

OlennasWimple · 04/10/2016 02:34

Either is lovely! I'd look at middle and last names, and initials, and decide which worked best.

Or wait until you meet your DD and see which one she looked like most

Mouthfulofquiz · 04/10/2016 03:38

I love Jemima, and Jem is a lovely shortening.

Eloise

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/10/2016 04:30

Both lovely, at a push, Jemima.

katemess12 · 04/10/2016 04:39

Eloise. It's miles better.

We called the Jemima I went to school with "Jim". She also got "Mimes" from some people. Both pretty awful.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/10/2016 05:04

Eww, I'm not surprised you don't like it Kate 😜
The Jemima I know is called Jem.
