Re: the problem (from my perspective)
in reply to a message by Clippy
I honestly don't think many people today are even aware of the racist issues with the name. If the meaning of Jemima was something racist than I could see it being a bigger problem. Jemima means 'dove', its Biblical and has a rather famous story book character with the name, I think all of those things are important to consider as well. Why get hung up on one usage but not any of the others?
