HelpRe: Jemima
in reply to a message by Canielle
I really like it. It makes me think of Job's daughter in the Bible but also sounds like someone living during the 1800s. There is an oldfashioned charm about it that is similar to Matilda, Winifred, or Josephine.
A couple of other people have mentioned the pancake/ syrup brand, but I don't think it is as popular as it used to be in the US. Either that or it is more regional. I wouldn't automatically think of the brand if I met a baby or little girl named Jemima. If I met an older middle aged, matronly African American woman named Jemima who resembled the Aunt Jemima charcter, then I would think of the pancakes. Otherwise, Jemima Puddleduck is more likely to be an issue.
