Jemima, the name of a strong and beautiful Biblical daughter of Job, has long been among the chicest choices of aristocratic Brits. Unfortunately, Jemima is still linked in this country to the stereotypical smiling Aunt of pancake fame, which we think is a pity. It's time to liberate this excellent name, with its peaceful meaning. Some parents compromise or shorten the name to Jemma or the unrelated but similar sounding Gemma.
