[Opinions] Re: Jemima and Penelope
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
Penelope Jemima flows better, imo, but I prefer Jemima Penelope.
Penelope was a top 100 name in the 1940s here, so I associate it and Penny with a slightly bossy, head-of-committee type of retired lady. Associations aside, it's a decent name and it sounds fine with Jemima as a middle name or as part of a set. Jemima seems more youthful and bouncy; it's a family name for me and I like it a lot.
