    Gemma is my fave out of those two. Christina seems a bit old to me these days.

    Old names are the trend at the moment.

    I prefer Gemma, too.
    Got any middle name ideas??

    I prefer Christina, but then I was bullied by a girl called Gemma so the name is somewhat tainted for me! I've always thought Christina was a very pretty, delicate sort of a name.

    Love Christina but with the middle name prefer Gemma. Both are lovely just don't like the two names to start with the same letter just a thing I have

    Gemma is cute!

    You can always wait til bub arrives and see which name suits her.

    I prefer Gemma. But I am biased. My daughter is Jemma :-) I think it is a beautiful name.

    I have to vote Christina - Gemma is my Nans dogs name (they ruined it for me) ... but if you don't know anyone with a dog named Gemma then I think its a pretty name for a baby

    There are lots of Gemmas around. Not so many Christinas. Depends how common you want the name to be.

    Christina. One of the nicest girls I've ever known was called Christina, one of the most "one-uppy" type girls I've ever known is called Gemma. Also, I think Christina Caroline sounds really sweet, and if you like it you could call her "CC" as a nickname!

    Another vote for Gemma/Jemma here. Christina is one of those names that falls under the Damien/Shaun categories for me, one of those popular 70/80's names that was overdone if that makes sense? No offence to anyone here who has a Christina/Damien/Shaun. Im very much one for you choose what YOU like, so if you love Christina then go for it, this is merely my opinion and in the grand scheme of your name choosing, my opinion doesnt matter
