Gemma
Replies
I quite like it, but it is pretty popular here in the UK. There are two girls in my school year called Gemma.
Gemma is a lovely name. It's known, but not overly used. I've never met one here in the US, but on another site there was a woman who named her dd Gemma.
Gemma Sofia is terrific. Others (sorry if any are repeats):
Gemma Catherine / Cathleen
Gemma Lucy
Gemma Tess
Gemma Daphne
Gemma Rosalind
Gemma Lily
Gemma Emma (I couldn't resist)
Gemma Danielle
Gemma Celeste
Gemma Liv
Gemma Susan
Gemma Laurel

Very dated in Europe, but people still use it nonetheless. However in the US I would be tempted to use it.
Gemma is nice. ;)
Like you said, it's been very overused here in the past (I'm in Scotland) so I'm rather bored of it. It's definitely better than Emma, though, and the fact that it's rare in the US (without being 'weird') is a bonus. I prefer it spelt Jemma.
How about ...
