I know someone called Christine who shortens it to Teena. Growing up she was Teenie. If you don't like Chris as a NN that's an alternative for you.
Is this your first baby? One thing that I am really conscious of when choosing my baby's names is that I like them to sort of "match". So if this is your first baby and you are possibly going to have more after this one, then have you considered what sort of names you might give subsequent babies? Lol, I know it seems crazy thinking about future babies when this one hasn't even come out ;) I guess I just find it odd when someone has a child with a really classic/old-style name, and then name their second child a really modern name with "odd spelling".
Out of your two names though my favorite is Gemma :D
My sister has an awful dog named Jemma, so that one's tainted for me. Plus with 2 C initials she could be NNed CeCe :D
I like Gemma :)
My MIL shortens her name to Teens, rather than Chris. I quite like it... Not a name you hear every day anymore :)
I prefer Christina - lots of options with Chris, Chrissy, Christy, Tina, Nina, CeCe for nicknames. I think it is less common than Gemma these days and is really pretty.
(It always makes me thinks of Chrissy Amphlett and she is awesome so it has a good association for me)
Christina is my pick out of the two
I prefer Gemma :)
I am so glad I asked, there seem to be lots of people that have heard of the name Gemma being used and not Christina. I have NEVER met a Gemma can you believe hehehe. Its interesting to get others opinions.
Sounds like Gemma is a pretty popular choice but Christina is likes for lost of reasons too.. its hard isn't it!
This is my second baby.:
My neice's name is Jemma, so Gemma gets my vote but knowing her i prefer the name with a J over a G
At first i thought Gemma but thinking about it I think Christina would be a better choice as it is a beautiful name and it would be unusual for a little girl these days making it a bit special. both great names though.
Gemma, definitely ;) lol
And I've only ever met one Gemma before, and never any "Jemma"s either!
Great name really ;)
Easy. Gemma
