[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is confusing about Gemma?[/quote] Americans don't know whether to pronounce the "g" -- you will get it pronounced like it is in gem (the correct way) or like it is in gum (the incorrect way). It's a much better known name in the UK. It's actually kind of fallen out of favor there, but lots of adult Gemmas in the UK.[/quote] There is no English-speaker anywhere who thinks Gemma is pronounced with a hard g. Come on.[/quote] Sorry, but there absolutely are people who will pronounce it that way. A lot of Americans have never seen that name before and just have no idea how to say it, so they think "Emma with a g" and how they pronounce the g is a flip of the coin. People will mispronounce almost any name, but the less familiar it is to them, the more likely it is to happen.[/quote]
