HelpRe: Would a little Jemima be teased terribly in the U.S.?
in reply to a message by Megan
People who tease are ignorant. Dont worry about them. Jemima is a beautiful, biblical name and you should be proud to use it.

I love it when people say "People who tease are ignorant, just ignore them." Those words are *never* spoken by somebody who is actually being teased.
We're not talking about just a funny name here. Jemima may have a Biblical origin, but unfortunately it has acquired racial connotations that are quite serious and that many people, black white and otherwise, feel very strongly about.
