Nicknames for Jemima

[questabellatreetop]

DH and I like the name Jemima but I'm really not that keen on the nn 'Jem' other than 'Mimi' are there any alternatives?

I didn't choose a name i had liked for the exact reason- i hated the likely nickname. Unfortunately kids/people found a way to create one for my nickname-proof choice anyway

older generation relative in my family goes by the name Minnie ( her name is Jemima but she's never been called it)

Jemma, Emmy, Mimey

Mima
Jemmy
Mim
Emmy

We have a Jemima and we call her Mima.

Congratulations!

Mimsy

Oh sorry, I assumed you are pregnant as you're discussing names? But you didn't actually say you're expecting. No offence meant of course if I wrongly assumed.

Ours is Jemima Louise and we also call her Mima Lou.

My friend has a Jemima and we call her mima or mimes

Ours was 'Jemmy' until she went to school and friends called her 'Jem'.

Thanks all! I like Emmy...

DH's grandmother was Jemima but went by Mina (not Mima).

Mimi

Sorry - just noticed you mentioned Mimi in your post! I think it's a fab nn for Jemima btw!

I know a Mimes! (pronounced like times, not meems)

Mimey, Mimles, and Mima are what I call mine, but she's a cat so don't have to worry about it sounding daft!

Lovely as it is really... J, Jem, mimi, Mia, emmy.

The other little friends in nursery unfortunately misheard, so Jemima became Vagina

I hate nicknames. Can you not just insist she is called Jemima.

Jimmy or Jemma
