I don't mind it.

I hear this name occasionally, but its initial popularity is long gone.

---

When I think of this name I think of two actresses:

---

Gemma Chan and Arterton.

I’ve always liked this name and Gem makes such a cute nn.

Yes, it feels British and weirdly also Italian at the same time.

---

I like it okay. It is less boring than Emma. But I am not a huge fan of the J-sound in many cases. It sounds a bit harsh and choppy. But I like the meaning.

---

It also feels a bit tired and dated. I think in the UK it's a 70s/80s/early 90s name. And it sounds so much like Emma.

Gemma does sound very British, but it also reminds me of Harry Styles' gorgeous older sister, so I like it!

Dated in the UK. Very 80s. I don’t like it much.

I like this name.

There‘s an actress named Gemma (can’t remember her last name) who used to be on this British soap opera.

I love it. To me, it feels very British, like Georgina, Imogen, Poppy and Freya.

---

It's dated in the UK, but feels new in the States.

It is very British to me. I like it, for that reason.

Gemma does feel very distinctly British to me to, along with Tamsin, Philippa, Poppy, Nicola, Jemima, Carys, and Imogen.

---

Very 90s British.

---

I like it though, I think it's pretty.

Definitely another stamped British name to me. Along with Ellie. The name itself is pretty. I can see the appeal.

I like it
