Gemma.. or other G names?

LetsBake · September 2011

Hey Ladies!! Wanted to get your thoughts on a girls name Gemma. Do you think it would get mispronounced... or teased by associating it with Germ or something awful like that? Our last name starts with a G, and I LOVE names where the first letter is the same for first/last names... any other ideas otherwise?

Thank you!

I love the name Gemma! I had a moment where I was dedicing if I wanted to pick that for my daughter. I think you should go with it. I like to think Gemma would only be associated with gems and nice things! Haha, I think if you love it, go with it. Good luck

I'm sure if you try hard enough you can find a way to make fun of any name, so I wouldn't worry to much. I like Gemma well enough, it is not a name I would use personally but it's fine. Someone might mess up pronunciation but it seems obvious to me, I can't even think of how else they might say it. I also like Georgia and Gioia (Joy-ah) has popped up on the board a couple times and I think it is very pretty but would definitely get mispronounced.

I doubt Gemma will get mispronounced. The teasing possibility is there. But that's true of every single name out there. I don't think Gemma will get teased more than anyone else.

Suggestions: Guinevere, Greta, Georgia, Gloria

Love Gemma! This may be partially due to my love of Sons of Anarchy, but I think it's a great name nonetheless.

I think Gemma is a beautiful name. I wouldn't think it would get mispronounced very often, and I don't associate it with germs at all

Also

Gianna (me), Gioia (our girl name), Giuliana/Giulia, Grace, Gina, Gia, Gloria, Gabriella, Georgia, Georgiana, Graziette (Grah-zee-ette or Gracie-ette)

I've also seen Genae (prn Juh-nay)

I like it and I don't think it would get mispronounced. DH loves it and we likes that it can serve as a feminine version of James, which is important to us for #2. It sounds very British to me

I love Gemma and would totally use it if my FIL didn't have dog named Gemma.

He also named his dogs Sally and Jack, so obviously he has a thing for naming dogs people names.

I've always liked Gemma. Other G's are Gillian, Georgina, Genevieve.

I LOVE the name Gemma!

I like it and would consider it, but DH has already said no to it.

Gemma is pretty popular in the UK - and for me, it's just meh. A friend of mine just called her daughter Gia - which I like much more.

I am clearly the anomaly, because I think Gemma is one of the ugliest names I've ever heard in my entire life. Yet everyone loves it. I can't figure this out, but I am obviously wrong in my hatred of it.

I like Gemma, but my favorite name is Geneva

I taught a girl who's name was Gemini (ick) who went by Gemma (thank God). I also taught a Geordana who went by Geo.
