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

Congratulations!

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.

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

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

Mimi

BasicBetty · 02/07/2018 14:37

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

lenalove · 02/07/2018 15:55

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

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/07/2018 15:57

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

Flamingosnbears · 02/07/2018 16:19

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

Puddle

Marcipex · 02/07/2018 18:30

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

Mima

starzig · 02/07/2018 21:10

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

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 02/07/2018 21:14

Jimmy or Jemma
