I don't think too many people will associate it with SOA, especially now that the show is over. I know this isn't quite the same, but I have a dog named Jax and no one has ever asked if he was named after the character. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091520 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:59:33 +0000 meredithNYC 2091520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never watched the show, love the name. I only know one little Gemma and her father is English. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091499 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:48:58 +0000 lady baltimore 2091499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others that the SoA association is only going to get weaker and weaker now that the show is over. Plus, while I never watched it, I know that the character Gemma was played by Katey Sagal, who is a GREAT association, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091346 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:37:25 +0000 Mrs.Scientist 2091346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never watched the show so I don't make any association with the name. I think no matter what name you choose people are always going to associate it with something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091192 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:38:51 +0000 Torchwood 2091192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't watch it, but I love the name. The only thing it makes me think if is Agents of Shield, and she's a great character. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091139 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:12:05 +0000 loki 2091139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you guys are totally making me feel better! thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091117 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:05:43 +0000 californiadreams 2091117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't want SOA, so my un-biased opinion is that it is a beautiful name. And i think your SOA connection will fade quickly once a new association is made with this name - your daughter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091116 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:05:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2091116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we've watched the show but that doesn't change what a beautiful name it is.</p> <p>The show is over now and in 10 years, no one will even remember Gemma from SOA! She's gonna have her name for the rest of her life....don't choose it based on a fad show that will only be remembered for so long. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091114 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:04:50 +0000 Chillybear 2091114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched the show, but Gemma is also my grandmother's name so i associate it with her much more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091109 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:02:33 +0000 loveisstrange 2091109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. I love the name.</p> <p>Ive watched the show. It wouldnt stop me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091079 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:47:38 +0000 ValentineMommy 2091079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watch it, but still love the name. It wouldn't dissuade me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091077 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:47:17 +0000 lemondrop 2091077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen the show, but I LOVE the name! One of my high school friends has a Gemma and she is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091067 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:43:38 +0000 ellewoods84 2091067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen this show, but I think the name is adorable. If you really like it and obviously your husband loves it, I say do it! Like others have said, I think it will be a distant memory soon. My daughters name is an old cartoon character and I thought people might say stuff about it, but so far in 10 months it's never been mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091054 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:38:23 +0000 loki 2091054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: @Synchronicity: oh that's really good news, i had no idea. maybe by april it'll be a distant memory then haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091051 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:37:37 +0000 lamariniere 2091051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't watch TV so I've never even heard of the show! I think it's a really cute name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091033 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:30:11 +0000 Synchronicity 2091033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the show, hate the character, and I'd still use it :) As Photojane mentioned, the show is over, so the association will slowly die down. It's a really pretty name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091029 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:28:58 +0000 photojane 2091029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: yep! The series finale was back in December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091023 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:26:10 +0000 loki 2091023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: oh the show is over?! for good?! i didn't even know that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091020 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:25:28 +0000 photojane 2091020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't use it personally because we are huge SOA fans, but since the show is over I think it's safe to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091019 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:24:37 +0000 ShootingStar 2091019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a really pretty name. I've never seen Sons of Anarchy, it's not really my type of show, so I wouldn't be too bothered about the association. As others have pointed out, in a few years no one will make that connection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091018 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:23:57 +0000 loki 2091018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: that is beautiful, i love that so much. the more i hear about other little gemmas, the less i want to use it! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091016 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:21:50 +0000 nana87 2091016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Rosalie :) also, since you're wondering about popularity, I know a 2-year old Gemma </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091013 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:20:31 +0000 pearl 2091013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a beautiful little Gemma at my son's daycare, and I don't really know anyone who watches SOA! I've never seen it myself. So I associate it with my son's adorbs little school girlfriend :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091010 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:20:05 +0000 loki 2091010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: i'm curious what your LO's name is!</p> <p>@lovehoneybee: interesting... Gemma has been popular in the UK &amp; Australia for a loooong time and I think it's finally starting to make it's way over here. I have a feeling it'll be pretty common soon but you can never really predict, I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2091005 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:17:32 +0000 nana87 2091005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: haha, I should never mention the Twilight association ever again so that it dies down faster! oops! ;) I don't really mind the Grimm one, she's maybe my favorite character on the show. And we spell lo's name differently anyway </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2090995 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:13:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 2090995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: One is 4, one is almost 2, and the third is a newborn. They all live in different areas of the country though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2090991 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:12:28 +0000 swurlygurl 2090991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: Oh see, I've already forgotten about the association with Twilight!! I loved the name in Grimm and brought it up to DH when we were picking names :)</p> <p>Same as @Mae: It won't be an issue in several years. I've never seen the show, so to me it's just a beautiful name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2090989 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:11:28 +0000 loki 2090989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: that's my other concern - i can see it getting really popular but i only know of one other gemma. how old are the gemmas you know?! </p> <p>i am trying sooooo hard to love this name for my husband! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gemma-sons-of-anarchy#post-2090983 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:08:51 +0000 lovehoneybee 2090983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I've never seen SOA. I do know three adorable little Gemmas, though! </p>
