I love Gemma! It was on my list of other names I liked when I was pregnant, even though I knew I was going to use Caroline. It's not often heard in the states (I've never known a Gemma). But it would make sense for it to gain in popularity, with it's similarity to Emma.

I think of the model Gemma Ward. I don't think she's one of the most gorgeous women in the world as another poster said, but I guess a supermodel is always a good association? I personally think Gemma Ward is a bit strange-looking. Anyway, wdyto... ?

Hmm it's cute, but it was very popular in Britain around 80s/90s, so it's quite dated to me. I'd be surprised to see a baby called Gemma born now.

I adore this name, always have. I've been thinking about it recently myself. I love Gemma Rose, Gemma Ruby, Gemma Caitlin, Gemma Louise, Gemma Brooke, Gemma Felicity, Gemma Elizabeth, Gemma Phoebe, Gemma Rachel and Gemma Kate.

I love Gemma, makes me think of the supermodel Gemma Ward, who is probably one of the most gorgeous women on the planet.

No. It makes me think of the annoying girl Gem off the Sabrina cartoon my nephew watches. I don't like it.

Gemma is very pretty, aside from it's similarity in sound to Jim & Gym.

I love it but I don't think I'd use it because of the overuse of the similar sounding Emma. :(

Some mn ideas:
Gemma Pearl
Gemma Evangeline
Gemma Beatrice

It just makes me think of an unorganized, spoiled person (because of a story I wrote; LOL!). I prefer something like Jenna.

I like the name but I remember when I was little I used to watch the Sabrina animated show. It reminds me of the snobby girl on that but I doubt anyone else would think of it. Anyway lovely name, if I wasn't riddled with so many other favorites this would probably be one.
