HelpI really love it.

I think it's sweet and strong and very, very classy. So cool.
However (and oh, you know it has to be brought up every time the name is mentioned!), if you're in the US, there's the syrup connection. Actually, it's not so much the syrup connection that's troublesome, but rather the racist implications that the name brings forth because of Aunt Jemima. But, and this might just be the eternal optimist in me, maybe the time is coming for when we can move beyond that? Maybe? *hopeful*
Of course, if you're not in the States, then none of this matters, and I've just wasted your time. :P Regardless, it's a lovely name that deserves to be appreciated no matter what. Heck, even if you are in the US, it probably doesn't matter much if you're not considering, you know, using it for a child any time soon. Perhaps. I don't know, I think there are many arguments for and against that line of thinking.
