Yes I think they work nicely.

I don't know, but I love Jemima, they don't have to match.

Jemima reminds me of Jemima puddleduck!

OliviaStabler · 10/04/2018 20:12

Sounds good although to someone my age Jemima makes me think of Playschool

KirstenRaymonde · 10/04/2018 20:13

No I don’t think they go at all, completely different sort of name in my head. Faye’s sister is Melissa or Annabel

I think they're two lovely individual names, and you really shouldn't worry about them 'matching'. I don't even know what that means truly.

Am totally biased towards Jemima though - was desperate for a Jemima, but it turned out not to suit DS Grin

Not really OP, but if you like Jemima then go for it. How old is your Faye? I've not heard of any little Faye's for years.

drth12 · 10/04/2018 21:21

mmm yeah, they probably don't really go but oh well. Faye is 3, never really come across any little Faye's which is nice:) I am the age of remembering play school and totally forgot about the Jemima doll! Love the name though so will probably still use it despite all this.... kirsten i agree Faye does go with those sort of names but my name tastes have changed since three years ago. Thankfully i still like Faye (!) but don't tend to like similar names

At the end of the day names don't really have to match, choose a name you love and use it Smile

drth12 · 10/04/2018 21:26

yes, true:)

Love, love, love Faye! Only ever known beautiful ones.

I knew one who had a sister Jolene!

Jemima I'd always shorten to Mimi. Faye and Mimi is gorgeous.

Yes

I think it’s a bit odd when siblings have names that are from totally different camps, like James and Hercules, but otherwise I don’t think it matters whether they ‘match’. Faye and Jemima don’t clash, so it’s good!
