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?

Arabella
Phoebe
Delilah/Delia
Francesca
Jillian
Helena
Marian
Janina
Juliet

Ginevra ( means Juniper. Also lovely da Vinci portrait)

Why wasn’t it Mima (my-ma)?

Can’t log in OP, but I can guess why it’s considered racist in America.

what about the name do you like, the J sound or A sound at the end.

I agree with @LadyGrillingSole Tabitha is beautiful,

@AliceMcK I like the sound of it and the fact that it’s always been relatively unusual without being way out there.

Tabitha is my favourite alternative so far too.

Tallulah
Jessica

That’s what I thought! But yeah, she went by Mina.

Agree with posts that say Jessamine ( if you are wanting the nn Jem from Jemima) or Tabitha in terms of style are the obvious ones.

I’d possibly also add in terms of style ( as I think of Jemima as “British quirky/underused”):
Felicity
Verity
Saskia
Cassia
Celia
Rosamund
Bryony
Tamsin

Tallulah
Delilah
Tabitha
