BW will elaborate after school, but Gem/Jem in any form is out due to family naming (SIL has a Sim and Jem, she already cops flack for Sam being too close to Sim - throwing Jem in the mix will be way too messy! lol)
Thanks, BG. Yup, the family already has a Simeon, so Simon, Simone and Simeon are all out. We also have a Jemima so that's out and when we went so close to Simeon before I don't think it would be appreciated if we went so close to Jemima as well - it's a shame as I love Gemma and would LOVE a Gem... And it's not like they are distant relatives, either.
Jeremy - the name of an ex-boyfriend (Simon, too) and that just feels kind of icky.
Do you think the *EM would work for girls... I can't think of any names, unfortunately! *EM doesn't feel right for boys.
i know a few kids with M as first initial that just get "M" as nn - no diff to "Emm" really if you're pronouncing it. don't know it looks right when writing it though
