I love Gemma. I think it's a lovely girls name.

I definitely prefer Gemma to Jemma. Jemma ruins the name in my opinion. I also prefer Gemma to Emma.

Gemma has such a stripper sound to it, along the lines of Amber, Diamond or Emerald. I really dislike it.

Connotations aside, I prefer Emma (though I'm not a huge fan), then Gemma then Jemma.

I've always loved the name Gemma. It's not crazy popular here in Australia, but is constantly used. I think Gemma is so much nicer than Jemma. I also prefer Gemma to Emma.

This post has reminded how charming and adorable Gemma is so I've had to add it to my PNL.

I don't like the spelling with a J, it just looks wrong to my eyes. Emma is cute but its popularity makes me want to throw up a little bit so Gemma wins, hands down across the board.

Gemma is adorable. It's definitely on my short list for a future pet.

I find Gemma charming but don't care for the "J" spelling. I like Emma too and both names strike me as sweet, but Gemma adds pluckiness.

I'm from the UK. Gemma is dated here, it's a very 80s name. It's not seen as particularly low class, but it's definitely not upper class either. I'd put it in the same bracket as names like Laura, Stephanie, Hannah, Lisa and Rachel.

I prefer Jemma (this how my cousin spells it) to Gemma, and Emma to Gemma/Jemma.

Gah, I really like it! It's not common, not yet anyway. I think that if it gets much more popular in the US, then in about 25 years it'll seem about like Robin or Tanya does now. But at least it won't be like Addison, heh.

I dislike the J spelling. I think it's wrong.
Emma sounds grandma-ish to me, still, strangely. I've never really liked it.
Gemma > Emma > Jemma
