It's good - unusual without being outlandish. I know a Jerram too. Or Gerram. Not sure how it's spelt.

How would you pronounce it? I know of one pronounced Gerom, which I think, sounds slightly better than Je Rome.

sorry - not my cup of tea.

St Jerome wrote lots about virginity. Criticised for misogyny.

Wolfblass · 29/12/2008 20:54

Love it!!!!!

Amapoleon · 29/12/2008 20:54

paolosgirl · 28/12/2008 19:14

Jerome Flynn springs to mind - but that's showing my age.

It's a bit of a ch-you know what-y name round here. Not keen on it, sorry.

Scarfmaker · 28/12/2008 19:11

I nearly called my son Jerome 16 years ago but I hesitated and named him Jamie instead.

I also had Jared in mind.

I love the name Jerome.

llareggub · 28/12/2008 18:48

I had a gorgeous French boyfriend called Jerome as a teenager.

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 28/12/2008 18:39

Well, there's Jerome Flynn. Not that dodgy, although sometimes a little cheesy.

And Jerome K Jerome who wrote the book "Three men in a boat".
