Aunt Jemima did real damage to this name in the U.S.

Besides the syrup/waffles/pancakes stuff, it's a racial term that can be used as a slur. And it's such a strong association, it's really pretty hard to see past that. I *think* I'd like this name a lot actually, but I just can't judge it on sound alone the way I do with most names.
