I think Reice is pretty but all I can think of is Reese Witherspoon and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups lol.

Esmee is pretty too. I like that one.

The rest I am not fond of

cassini - could be ok, but check on the meaning.
jemima - will never stopped being teased. ever. she'll need to find mrs. butterworth for consolation.
aysha - if you want people to know how to pronounce your daughter's name on the first try, avoid this.
reice - see above. if you have to tell us how it's pronounced, don't bother.
esmee - is interesting, but i don't love it.
trinity - not awful, but again, not my style.
aggie - you can't say that without sounding like you're either viciously mad or about to choke.

Jemima is pretty well used in snobbish English circles. I know several, most have nicnames such as Jem, Mimi or Mima.

i think aggie is a cute nickname for agatha, too. and i rather like agatha.

Lose Esmee, but I prefer is Esme.

Ahahaha.

Poor Jemima.

Sad thing is, the name itself really isn't that bad. It's just.. okay it really just cracks me up to think of a child being named Jemima. I think the name would actually be pretty cool if it wasn't.. so humourous.

i knew an esme once... she was the most beautiful, most elegent and creative dancer i've ever seen.

The only Esme I knew was annooooyyyyyyying and bug-eyed, plus obsessed with her own Wonderful Name. I might have thought it was wonderful if she hadn't tried to force its wonderfulness down our throats...

Jemima is great in the UK. I work with a Jemima (called Jem), and love it.
