Gem/jem

[name]Hi[/name] berries, I love the name jem/gem for a girl but don’t love [name]Gemma[/name] or jemima. [name]Do[/name] you have any suggestions for longer names that could be shortened to jem/gem? What do you think of jem/gem on its own. The nameberry description for jem is something like “insubstantial”! [name]Penny[/name] for your thoughts :slight_smile:

I think [name]Gem[/name] is lovely for a girl though I do prefer it as a nickname rather than a full name. It is, however, the middle name of my youngest niece. [name]Jem[/name] is a handsome nickname for a boy. I prefer the [name]Gem[/name] spelling for a girl unless, of course [name]Jemma[/name] is spelled this way or if the full name is [name]Jemima[/name].

[name]Gemini[/name] and [name]Germaine[/name] are the ones I can think of. You could also take any soft G names and pair it with an [name]Em[/name] middle name.

[name]Gillian[/name] [name]Emma[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Emily[/name], [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Emmaline[/name]

I was going to suggest [name]Gemini[/name]! Also my SO loves [name]Gemelle[/name] but it’s actually Italian word for twins. I have heard of a woman named Gemstone but, honestly, it’s too much.
[name]Gem[/name] on its own is kinda strange though.

I knew a girl in high school named Jemica. She went by both [name]Jem[/name] and [name]Jemma[/name]. Loved her name!

When I was in high school, one of my closest friends was a girl of Chinese heritage named [name]Gem[/name] (yes, just [name]Gem[/name]) and she was one of the brigtest girls I’ve ever met. Perhaps my experience enables me to picture [name]Gem[/name] as a full name. If you don’t find a name you like that has been already suggested in the previous posts ([name]Jemima[/name], [name]Gemini[/name], [name]Germaine[/name] etc…), then choose [name]Gem[/name]. If parents are choosing other word names for their children, why isn’t [name]Gem[/name] perfectly acceptable? :slight_smile:

I would go with [name]Gem[/name] because to me, [name]Jem[/name] is a boys name( my uncles). Full names could be

[name]Gemima[/name]
[name]Gemini[/name]
[name]Gemella[/name]

Good luck!!! :slight_smile:

To me [name]Jem[/name] is both a boys’ name and then there’s the “[name]Jem[/name] and the Holograms” association.

[name]Gem[/name] is lovely as is, I think.

[name]Love[/name] these suggestions!
