Does anyone know why she sometimes called herself "Gemma"? It seems to have a personal relevance between her and Blake.

Where did you read "Gemma"? Genuinely curious because I only ever heard that she called Blake her sailor and he called her his gem. Never heard gemma.

I’m pretty sure she signed her name as Gemma in some of her letters to Blake.

Didn’t his mom end up with some letters she wrote to him - maybe sold them to the press…maybe I’m remembering wrong…

Here are some of the letters in which she uses the name Gemma in letters to Blake:

I've seen it said that it was "code-name" she used to write to him in jail but she seems to have used it at other times, too. Maybe it was just a play on "gem"; I thought it might have another meaning.

She used the code name Gemma when writing to Blake in prison she used it on a Valentines card. Why Gemma I have no idea.

I think the nickname was Gem at first but somehow she started using Gemma too.
