I was wondering what some of the reasons are for not using names if you like them. I had the poll for Gemma, and this was selected by a few people. Some people have brought up the GEM/JEM cartoon from the 80's but that doesn't bother me. What really determines if you use the name?
Thanks

Some of the names I love but CAN"T use:

Claudia - DH doesn't like meaning

Esme - DH won't go for it

Mallory - DH doesn't like meaning

Emma - too popular

Maxine - not common enough/ people will make fun of Maxie
