What do you think of the name Gemma?
What would you suggest for a middle name?

I love the name; it's my sister's friend's name. Her full name is actually Gemma-Anne, and her middle name is Erin. For middle names, the name Louise came to mind, which is strange because I dislike the name Louise, but it seems to flow.

I love it, but I don't know if I'd use it on a daughter.

I love it. I don't like how it's come to be considered more common (rather than posh or particularly unique) because it's so feminine and pretty in my opinion. I know a Gemma Lillian, which I always thought was nice.

It is super common in the UK.

I think of a book ("Gemma" by Meg Tilly) about a little girl who is molested by her mother's boyfriend and then sold to one of his friends to rape.

I like it. I can't really think of middle name suggestions but it seems like one that many names could go with

I like it, especially spelled this way. I like how it looks better than how it sounds.

I've liked it for a while because it's the name of an actress on a show I used to watch as a kid.

I like it alright... not sure I love it though. It reminds me of Gemma Ward, the model.

[yasue.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of the model, too. I quite like it. :)

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

I like it more and more.
I really think it's pretty.

[ollivander.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of gummy things. Dunno. I don't think I like it.

My friends soon to be born daughter's name will be Paisley Jemma, it was the first time I had heard it. With it as a first name I think a one sylable middle name sounds good. Like the Gemma-Anne mentioned before, goes well.

I know a girl called Jemazin (jem-uh-zen) Although i hate that, i love the nn of Gemma.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Oh that sounds sooo much like Demazin, which is a cold and flu medicine over here

Do you pronounce the G "jem-uh" as in gemstone or "gem-uh" as in give?

[murderprotocol.livejournal.com]

I don't know about the OP, but it's generally pronounced "jem-uh".

[searlait.livejournal.com]

Gem-uh, like the gemstone.

I love the name Gemma. On my list, I have it as Gemma Violet.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Funny you should ask...I've recently started to like it! =)

[la-jolie-vie.livejournal.com]

Hate it.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Gemma Louise Ward, one of my favourite models. I like the name, I think it's pretty.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Oh I love Gemma. I like Gemma Doyle from the "A Great and Terrible Beauty" trilogy. Love love.

Middles: Noelle, Christine, Elaine, Michelle, Clarisse, basically most middles ending in E, I guess.

They call her "Gem" for short
