Mulling this one over. I like it as long as I don't think "Clarkson."

What short versions are there?

Thoughts?

It's DS2's middle name (after my late uncle) and my brother's middle name and I love it. I wish I'd been brave enough to use it for the first name. Love th nickname Jem as well.

very cute name.

I like Jeremy a lot. Classic and not overused. Jem would be a cute nickname.

LynetteScavo · 17/08/2011 13:37

I love the name Jeremy.

Sadly, there are a few TV presenters named Jeremy who have done the name not service.

I know a couple of very cute Jerrrys, and Jem is a nice nn.

It's a shame because it sounds nice, but a Jeremy as a lot to live down on first impressions.

i think of the pearl jam song 'jeremy' which isn't a great association
