HelpRe: Gemma/Jemma
in reply to a message by *Brogan*
I really dislike it personally--it falls in with Mia and Poppy as a Brit-chic sort of name, and those grind my gears. ;)
I wouldn't object to seeing it on a little girl, though. It's a good sight better than Nevaehlyn, after all! I think that Gemma and Jemma are full enough names in themselves.
I'd go with Jemma, personally, because I'd pronunce Gemma as GEH-muh, with a hard G as in "goat." And that's not the sound you're looking for. (I far prefer G's that sound like "guh" to G's that sound like "juh," but I'm mostly alone in that. I'd really love Gillian if I knew thatpeople wouldn't pronunce it exactly like Jillian, sigh.) Plus, with Jemma, you can call her Jem. Who doesn't want to share their name with an 80s cartoon rockstar? :D

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
