[Opinions] Re: Jemima, Romola and India?
in reply to a message by bennete
I love Jemima. It always makes me think of Beatrix Potter and Jemima Puddleduck. Unfortunatley, here in the U.S. it's unusable due to racial stereotyping. *sigh* But in theory I still love it and if you're outside the U.S. I'd love to see you use it.
That said, Jemima Cecily Rose is lovely. Rose feels too safe, but I know with the second mn options get limited due to rhythm. The Jemima Cecily part is great -- cheerful, energetic and sweet.
I'm never sure if Romola is "ROM-uh-luh" like Romulus, or "ROE-muh-luh," or another way entirely? I've seen it written, but never spoken. How does Romola Garai say it? Is that the way you are too?
Romola Imogen Cate strikes me as smart and artsy, any way you say Romola. Imogen is especially fetching.
India Penelope Eve -- So close. India is difficult to find a mn for. Penelope works surprisingly well with it. But Eve draws out the "ee" sound of Penelope weirdly. I don't know if I've got an alternative for you though. India Penelope Blythe? India Penelope Wren? India Penelope Jane? India Penelope Tess?
India shares the same Brit-chic style as Jemima and Romola. They blend well together in a sibling set. :-)
I wouldn't put Constance and Florence in a sibling set if I could help it. Then again, I'm not that fond of Florence, so take what I type with a grain of salt. Georgia, Constance and Lucy? Georgia, Constance and Emily?
