Honestly, I really like this name for a boy. When I see the name Jem I immediately think of Jem from To Kill A Mockingbird. It somehow feels classic and unique at the same time. This might just be surpassing Jamie as my favorite nickname for James!

When I text my BFF on my tablet, we have a messaging group called the J.E.M.S, I will not tell you what it stands for, as it will reveal all of our names (my brother, friend and me). But my brother deleted the app a couple of weeks ago, and the group still has the same name, which we will never change. My brother was the J.

I've always thought this name was feminine because of the 80's cartoon.

I always thought it sounded feminine due to the cartoon. I really don't like it on a boy. But on a girl people will immediately think of the cartoon, so it's not exactly much better there.

It's incredible! I can't find a single good nickname derived from James. Jem for a man is so weird and awful. For a girl could it could be okay, but a man named Jem... it's strange in my opinion.

Jem Black, Ward, Belcher and Mace were all bare knuckle fighters form the early 1900's. Jem Finer writes/wrote music for The Pouges. Jem Stansfield presents science for the BBC. It is most definitely a boys name being a shortening of Jeremy or, in earlier times James.

I always found it funny how Jem's real name was Jeremy, as that name was very rarely used when the book was written.

This name looks ugly and too much like the word "gem", which will lead to teasing. Maybe it would work as a nickname for Jeremy, but as a legal name it sounds silly.

OK. First GIRLY! I like this name as a shortened GIRL name! Maybe for Gemma and spell it gem! If this is your name sorry, but gem is a jewel and it isn't very manly :o It can lead to nicknames. Sorry. Spoke the truth.
