Sylvie or Jemima?

Sister for Matilda.

Jemima

No idea if it matters to you or not but apparently Sylvia is a middle aged woman's name in France. Not "cool" or "old lady cool" just sort of middle aged like maybe a Sharon or a Deborah might be here.

Sorry I meant Sylvie

Jemima is fine.

Jemima ❤️

Jemima.

After having lived in France for over 20 years I can confirm Silvie is not a 'trendy' name there. Absolutely nothing wrong with it but it's a bit like being called Debbie or Lisa in the UK. It's very common among 50/70 year olds.

A bit like the current UK trend to call baby girls Elodie - in France it's as common as Laura or Emma or Lucie. I feel like in the UK people think Elody is a cool, alternative, unique, uncommon name. Just my experience.

Matilda and Jemima ❤

Sylvie is pretty but a bit fay

I prefer Sylvie. It's more grown up - I find jemima a bit babyish for some reason.

I prefer Sylvie - I can imagine myself being called that as an adult more easily than Jemima, which is lovely on a young child but personally I don’t think it works so well for a teenager or adult

Jemima will always be either a Puddle Duck , or the doll off Playschool to me. Hence I chose Sylvie. Fortunately young people nowadays probably won't have those associations.

I much prefer Sylvie (also love Sylvia). It's a beautiful name. Jemima sounds a bit posh and silly to me.

Love the name Jemima

Sylvia is awful. Makes me think of a 1970s brassy barmaid.

Sylvie is lovely, my beautiful French Godmothers name ❤️ Jemima, to me, is a duck.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the comments - so late I know! We named our daughter Jemima Primrose 💕

A lot of our older family members went all out on the Puddleduck gear, but it’s quite sweet really.

Omg, she is beautiful! Lovely name 🙂

She is adorable!! Beautiful name for a beautiful baby😊

Oh my word, she is beautiful. Congratulations! Love the name.

So cute! Congratulations thanks for updating us!
