[Opinions] WDYTO Jemima?
The name has grown on me lately. It sounds a bit too "royal" plus a bit "heavy", imo, but somehow, I've begun to like it.
WDYT?

I love it. You're lucky you live in a place where it doesn't carry the cultural baggage of Aunt Jemima.
By the way, I love your top five for girls.

I adore it but I think it is unusable in the U.S. It would probably be fine in the U.K., Australia, etc.
Actually...
...I live in Germany and have never heard of Aunt Jemima. I'm even unfamiliar with Potter's Jemima Puddle-Duck (lack of general knowledge?!). So - OK. Good to know ;).
Thanks for the variants.
I like Jemma (but prefer Gemma a lot), Geneva is also cool (I prefer Ginevra), Janine/-a is terrible and Johanna too.

Ditto the duck.. it's all I can think of when I hear it.
I have the opposite problem. I just can't take Jemima very seriously. It sounds more appropriate to a doll or a pet than an actual person. I keep thinking of Jemima Puddleduck or Aunt Jemima.
