Opinions on Jemima please

[kittybeard]

...in case we have a girl

Poor children indeed - mother would call them in faux posh voice
"Bertie, Gertie, Jemima - do come here this instant"

I look after a little girl called Jemima and i like it.
She suits it.
We call her Mimi too.

I love it and prefer it in full to Mimi or Mima.

I think I prefer it as a middle name though.

there were 3 Jemimas at my DD playgroup and we thought we were being original... My husband had a thing about Jemima Khan hence the choice (I chose first DDs name). She gets called Jimmy quite a lot, never Jem.

Is it? I didn't know. All the little Jemimas I've encountered have been white so that's a new one on me

I think its a classy name but it probably does make people of my age think of playschool but so what there are worst names out there!! My daughter is called Melissa which seems fairly rare if thats what you are after.

I'm afraid it does make me think of the playschool doll, but I do love Mimi

Gorgeous - it made my list

Jemima, love it. it was the back-up name for dd, and I'm still wondering whether i should have used it instead. It's beautiful.

one of DD1's pals has an adorable hamster called Jemima.

I liked Jemima until then-3yo dd2 started referring to 'Vagina' Puddleduck.

i love it
