Sounds British indeed! I actually don’t hate it has grown on me. Gem is a sweet nn.

I do like it, but it does feel kind of tired and dated. I hate the spelling of Jemma. Gemma is nice, it makes me think of gemstones.

Yes, I agree, it will die quickly. It just got more popular in the US as a less common alternative to Emma but soon people will be sick of Emma and Gemma.

I think in the UK Emma and Gemma were popular at around the same time (70s, 80s and a bit of the 90s).

Love it. It's not popular at all yet in the region of the US where I am. Unlike Emma. I get a combination British/Italian vibe. Jemma is fine as well.

It's a nice, traditional name and I like it more than Emma. This name is also used in Spain, especially in Catalonia. However, I like Gema more, because I'm used to its pronunciation.

It sounds Italian to me. I'm not that much into this name, it lacks something.
And I don't understand why everybody dislikes Jemma...

Very dated to the 80s in the UK. I don’t like it much, but it’s better than a lot of other names from that era.

I’ve always liked this name. Not ridiculously popular here in Australia, but not unpopular either.

It's ok
