I've been collecting names most of my live, and I've treasured Gemma as a rare, beautiful, surprising choice. Gemma Lily is sweet and intriguing!
I would point out that recently I have been seeing Gemma on mutiple expecting parents' short lists. Parents are looking for sweet, old, short names that feel like Ella, Eva, Ava, etc. without the popularity. Gemma fits the criteria perfectly. Also, generally if a name gets super-popular, the names that rhyme with it will follow suit. Emma has been hot for several years now. I predict Gemma will eventually be in hot pursuit.
If you choose Gemma, you will be well ahead of the curve. I just wanted you to think through the fact that she will be surrounded by many Emmas in her generation, and don't be surprised if, as she grows, you begin to run into younger Gemmas.
Still, as prettiness goes, Gemma is about as good as it gets :)

Lily isn't my favourite, but I LOVE Gemma. I find it very sweet and spunky.
