I like the name [name]Suzannah[/name] and the shared z in all the names is neat. :slight_smile:

Please don’t use [name]Jemima[/name].

Tallulah is a favorite, but I don’t like the spelling Talullah. To keep with the biblical theme, I prefer Jemima or Susanna. I don’t like the spelling Suzannah

My vote goes to Jemima. It’s uncommon like Zepheniah and Hezekiah

ETA: You’ll probably get a lot of negative responses to Jemima. Have you considered Jeminah, then all 3 kids would have names ending in -ah

Jeminah? That’s a real name? Hmm… or how about [name]Jemimah[/name]?

Jemimia is the best choice with Zepheniah and [name]Hezekiah[/name]. It’s biblical and unusual. Yes, people may say some negative things, but I associate it with the sassiest, boldest British librarian.

  • [name]Athena[/name]

aj_bear and nat108 I tend to agree with you about [name]Jemima[/name].

Association with a sassy, bold British librarian is great, too!

I voted [name]Suzannah[/name] but wanted to vote for [name]Susannah[/name].

If you want the Z, there’s [name]Kezia/name? (A sister of [name]Jemima[/name] actually) and it hardly ever gets used, I just happen to love it.

I also voted for [name]Suzannah[/name] but personally like [name]Susannah[/name] more. It is a lovely name nonetheless.

Think [name]Jemima[/name] will fit the best with your sons names.

Yep, Jeminah is a variant of [name]Jemima[/name]. There’s also Yemima, [name]Yeminah[/name], [name]Gemima[/name], Jaminah… I prefer [name]Jemimah[/name] or Jeminah
I mainly associate [name]Jemima[/name] with [name]Jemima[/name] Puddleduck (we read a lot of [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Potter[/name] in school) so I think it’s a sweet name.

And after Zepheniah and [name]Hezekiah[/name], [name]Jemima[/name] sounds like [name]Mary[/name]

Okay, I voted for [name]Jemima[/name], because I don’t like the z in [name]Suzannah[/name], However, I have changed my mind, now that I see the brothers’ names. Cute!

If you’re feeling bold and willing to put aside past associations, I would encourage you to choose [name]Jemima[/name]. I think this name is an undiscovered gem just waiting to be dusted off so she can sparkle!

I personally like [name]Jemima[/name] with your sons’ names. As long as you are courageous enough to use it, I say go for it. Be a name pioneer. Reclaim it.

Voted for [name]Tallulah[/name], I think its a great name for a girl and has really nice nn choices. I think its quite unusual and would fit well with her brothers. Also like [name]Suzannah[/name], and the z makes it a bit more of a modern choice.

inat108- The Mary comment was super funny. :slight_smile:

Malaria, sugarfoot, peppersprout, nat108, and mischa- I love Jemima and I’m glad you do, too. That said, the encouragement to use Jemima is immensely important to me. I am glad to know others feel the same way as I do about it! It is such a beautiful name and so worth a revival.

Talullah and Suzannah are lovely in their own right and may work as mns. My first and mn both end in an ah sound so it would be caring on a tradition.

Thanks for your help berries!!

[name]Talullah[/name] for me :slight_smile:

My preferred spelling is [name]Susannah[/name], tho I also think [name]Susana[/name] and [name]Suzanna[/name] are nice, I don’t like [name]Suzannah[/name] – something about the Z and the H together looks wrong.

I love [name]Jemima[/name]- I’ve always associated it with the sweet little girl in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And it goes very well with your boys’ names, as other posters have pointed out. :slight_smile:

[name]Talullah[/name] is an AWESOME name. Especially if you nn her [name]Lula[/name] or [name]Lu[/name] [name]Lu[/name].
[name]Suzannah[/name] seems very traditional with the boys names.
[name]Jemima[/name] is also awesome with the boys- but I just prefer [name]Talullah[/name].
