Comments for the name Jem

This can also be a short form of Jeremy, as in Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The main character's brother is named Jeremy Atticus Finch, but he's called Jem.

I believe this name can also be used for girls, although it isn't very usual.

There's a famous female singer called Jem.

One of the children of Anne of Green Gables (+ Gilbert Blythe) is named Jem.

Jem could also be used as a nickname for Jemima.

Jem is *truly* outrageous! (If Jem is your name, then no one else is the same.) (sorry, I can't stop singing the eighties' cartoon anthems)

Also short for Jeremy.

Like this way better than Jim.

In Judith Lennox's novel "Middlemere", Romy Cole's (the leading character) brother is called Jem.

Come on, Come on and be a Jem Girl! Jem, Jem is my name!
This is the name of the lead character from the 1980's Hasbro series 'Jem and the Holograms'.

OK. First GIRLY! I like this name as a shortened GIRL name! Maybe for Gemma and spell it gem! If this is your name sorry, but gem is a jewel and it isn't very manly :o It can lead to nicknames. Sorry. Spoke the truth.

This name looks ugly and too much like the word "gem", which will lead to teasing. Maybe it would work as a nickname for Jeremy, but as a legal name it sounds silly.

I always found it funny how jem's real name was Jeremy, as that name was very rarely used when the book was written.
