Alternatives to Jemima?

[PitterPatter3]

I really like this name but we have American connections and it has racist connotations over there. I therefore think it has to be a no unfortunately. Any similar suggestions?

I am of an age where Jemima goes with big Ted, little Ted and Humpty, but probably even most new parents wouldn't remember play school on TV, never mind kids!

I knew a Mina (pronounced My-na, not Me-na) and only found out years later that she was actually a Jemima.

Jeama (pronounced Jee-ma). I went to school with one about 40 years ago!

I have a Jemima. Another J name I considered was Jessamyn. I also seriously considered Keziah, the sister of Jemima in the Bible and quite similar in feel and sound.

How is it racist?
