Jemima for a girl?

Older brother is a Benjamin. What do you think? Any other ideas for boys or girls welcomed.

The racist connection is to do with the American aunt Jemima’s pancake mix, which featured a large woman of colour on its branding.

According to Google there is some sort of maple syrup called "aunt jemima' that has a racist caricature of a black woman on it. Said company is removing the picture.

I dont think this will be a problem

Why is a picture of a black woman considered racist?

I made a rag doll as part of my Norland Nursery Nurse training course & named her Jemima so I'm conflicted on this 🙈

Because it’s a caricature, it’s right there in her post. It says ‘a racist caricature of a black woman.’

But I've seen the package. It's just a line drawing?

Maybe another thread is best to discuss it.
