[discombobulation]

I really like Jeremy nn Jem if I ever have a DS

[coffeefestival]

Jeremiah would be a nice "long version" of Jem.

[tomhayley]

i really like jem..very soft ,had been thinking of it too for our baby(due in two weeks now). sounds like you can recommend it?
how about jared, jay, joe
or juliana, june, jane....

[Hedwig3]

Only 1 and it is short for Jeremy.

[iskra]

I know one Jem, short for Jeremy. I love it. I met a two year old Jem at the airport last year but that's the only other encounter.

[Fontella]

My ex is a Jem. Jem by name, definitely not a Gem by nature I'm afraid.

[LadyCressida]

I have always loved Jem as a name for a boy (probably from that book too!)

How about

Joel
Joss
Jude

[bec232]

thanks all for taking the time to reply-yep i can definately recommend jem as a name, everyone always stops to ask me why i called him it though thanks for all the suggestions as well really like jude or maybe jaden for a boy-jago is a new one but i really like that too! actually having much more trouble finding girls names i like y mum gave both me and my brother names beginning with r so really want to carry that on-despite the annoying fact we have the same initials

[FoghornLeghorn]

I'm a Jem, but I am a girl and it's short for boring old Jemma

[Sal321]

I have always wanted a DS called Jem as I loved the character in Jamaica Inn. I assume it is short for James, but not sure.

[janeite]

I like Jem and Jude? Jaden is not nice imho.

[janeite]

Ignore the ? - not sure where that came from! I am not Australian.
