Help[Opinions] Re: Jemima
in reply to a message by Billina
Ah! "too racist"... I wouldn't have ever thought of it as racist unless it was a stereotyped character in book.
In fact, I think using it combats the racist vibe some people see in it.
I thinks it's a fantastic name and totally works. Plus, it has a modern nickname in "Jem" built right in!
I actually could totally see this as a hipster name.
"These are my children, Atticus, Jemima and Edie."

I think the name Atticus is far better suited to an antagonist.

Objectively, I think you might be right, but it's been associated with such a positive figure for so long in my mind that I find it difficult to separate the two.
