Jessica or Jemima?

[Veggy10]

Which do you prefer???

Definitely Jessica

Jemima, but I'm a sucker for any name that can be shortened to Mimi.

Jessica

Jemima's closely associated with racism in the US, so I'd avoid it for that reason.

Don't like Jessica. It's outdated. But Jessie is an alright nickname.

Or Gemma/Jemma?

Jessica not Gemma in either spelling.

Jemima, by a long chalk.

Jessica is hugely overused now and a bit nothingy.

Gemma is okay but not very exciting.

Do you like Tabitha? That has the same kind of feel.

Definitely Jemima

To me Jessica is Frank Spencers daughter, and jemima is a doll! But I think I'm just showing my age

Jessica rabbit or jemima duck? Hmm..

Prefer Jessica.
How about Jessamy?

Love Jemima

Ooh I love Jessica. Can be Jessie or Jess. Lovely name.

Jemima. It's less overused and not dated like Jessica.

Jessica. Jemima seems really infantile, a doll's name yes.

Jemima is lovely.

Absolutely adore jess if it's an option

Jessica is lovely. Jemima is either a cat or a rag doll, and I have never met a pleasant Gemma. No offence meant to any lovely Gemmas.

Jemima. I don't think it being racist on the other side of the Atlantic is a good reason to avoid.

Jessica. I don't like Jemima at all - it is awful!

I prefer Jemima

Jessica

Love Jemima!
